## Summary

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has recently completed a procurement process titled "IVF Consumer Research." This project falls under the services category, specifically focusing on research and experimental development services, with a contract value of £35,555. The procurement method used was selective, with the tender period concluding on 17th March 2020. The contract commenced on 9th April 2020 and is set to run until 22nd June 2020, with the primary location for the service delivery being in London, specifically at the postal code E14 4QZ.

This procurement presents valuable opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in consumer research and consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in the IVF sector. Businesses capable of engaging in in-depth market analysis and consumer insights would be well-suited to compete in such tenders. By aligning their services with the needs outlined by the CMA, these SMEs can position themselves strategically to contribute to future projects, potentially expanding their client base and enhancing their market standing.

## Notice

The CMA will be producing consumer law advice for IVF clinics and patients so that they are aware of their obligations and rights. The CMA is considering commissioning some consumer research so that it can hear directly from self-funded and part funded patients who have gone through the IVF process.
