## Summary

The Home Office commissioned an annual employee engagement survey for DBS, categorised as a service. The requirement covers designing and delivering a workforce survey to gather employee views and support understanding of engagement across the organisation. Delivery is geographically broad, covering the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is therefore relevant to employee research agencies, organisational development consultancies and workforce insight providers able to run structured engagement surveys across dispersed or international employee groups. The buyer is based in Liverpool, England, and the requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Planning Express Limited was selected on 10 August 2026 for £51,300 including the stated contract value basis. The contract runs from 14 August 2026 to 13 August 2029. The award is active and covers the full employee engagement survey requirement. The process used a framework call-off rather than an open standalone tender, so competition was limited to suppliers eligible under the relevant framework. The requirement was classified as services, with the tender estimated at £51,300. The awarded supplier and value are the same as the published tender value.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from the Home Office for an annual DBS employee engagement survey delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need proven capability in employee engagement research, questionnaire design, survey administration, response analysis and clear reporting for organisational decision-makers. It would also need the operational capacity to support a geographically dispersed workforce across the UK and overseas locations, manage participation securely and produce consistent, useful insight. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, so specialist research firms and smaller workforce insight consultancies may be well placed, provided they can meet the relevant framework access requirements and deliver the service at organisational scale.
