## Summary

The Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) has awarded a contract titled "Labour Market Evidence Synthesis & Dissemination" under the industry category of Research Services to the Institute for Employment Studies. This procurement, conducted using a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement, is focused on labour market evidence and targeted at local policymakers in the United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £1,100,000, began on 11th November 2025 and will conclude on 10th May 2027. The initiative is concentrated on delivering evidence through user consultation, systematic evidence reviews, and dissemination of outputs via web-based toolkits and direct engagement. As of 28th November 2025, the contract status is marked as active, signalling completion of the award stage.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in research services, particularly those with expertise in labour market studies and dissemination of research-based evidence. SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) are deemed suitable for this project, suggesting a preference for entities that can provide innovative and scalable solutions. Engaging in this contract could enable relevant businesses to significantly bolster their portfolio, network with key industry policymakers, and influence regional policy development through evidence-based research dissemination. This opportunity is tailored to enterprises that possess the capability for systematic reviews and effective knowledge dissemination strategies.

## Notice

While working towards a full Labour Market What Works Centre we propose to meet the medium-term needs for evidence by contracting out to an external supplier over a 25/26, 26/27 (Phase 1). This will consist of a user consultation, systematic evidence reviews, and dissemination of outputs through web-based toolkits and direct engagement, focused on labour market evidence and targeted in particular at local policy-makers.
