This procurement process falls under the services sector, specifically classified as business development consultancy services (CPV code: 79411100). The tender is in the active stage, with a tender period that concludes on 14 September 2018. The resulting contract is scheduled to start on 10 December 2018 and run until 1 April 2019. The procurement method employed for this opportunity is a direct approach, specifically a single tender action below the threshold, allowing for streamlined submission of proposals aimed at enhancing ARB's stakeholder relations. This tender represents an opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in stakeholder engagement, communications strategy, and research methodologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, as the ARB seeks to gather valuable insights that will inform its strategic direction and engagement efforts over the next three years. By providing a thorough analysis of stakeholder relationships, successful bidders will not only contribute to the ARB's mission but also potentially expand their footprint in public sector consultancy and enhance future business opportunities. ## Notice The Architect's Registration Board (ARB) is an independent Arm's Length Body (ALB) set up by Parliament and established by the Architects Act 1997 and is the regulator of the architects' profession in the UK. We are funded by fees paid by architects and act in the public interest. We aim to be a modern regulator, equipped to meet the challenges of the future, focused on the public interest and open to new ways of performing our duties. We are looking for a thorough, valuable piece of research on ARB's relationships with its stakeholders which will enable us to make a strategy commitment for the next three years. The research should provide an evidence base by which we can assess our current and future performance and establish strategies and priorities for future engagement.
