## Summary

The Department for Education has completed a procurement process for a project titled "Research into the impact of social media on the wellbeing and aspirations of children age 8-12." This tender falls within the research and development services industry category and was primarily located in London, England. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with a contract value of £22,000. The tender period concluded on 29 September 2017, and the contract subsequently started on 15 October 2017 and ended on 22 December 2017. The awarded supplier for this project was Revealing Reality.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social research or child welfare consultancy, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs).
