## Summary

The Department for Education is seeking an organisation to conduct a research review for the National Careers Service as part of a tender initiated on 10th October 2018, which has now concluded. The project aims to consolidate existing research and customer insights to inform a comprehensive two-year communications plan. The total contract value is £15,000, and the awarded contract period spans from 15th October 2018 to 31st December 2018. This procurement was classified under research services, with a selective procurement method identified as a call-off from a framework agreement. The geographical scope for delivery includes the United Kingdom and various regions worldwide.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for research firms specialising in customer insights and market analysis to demonstrate their expertise. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to engage in this process, as the requirements may align well with their capabilities. Businesses that focus on research services, analytical trends, and original research methodologies can potentially benefit from the findings of this review to enhance their service offerings in the education sector.

## Notice
