## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) recently concluded a public procurement process titled "Literature review and guidance for communicating CBRN recovery." Classified under social research services, this procurement involved a call-off from a framework agreement and was awarded to Thinks Insight and Strategy (Britain Thinks) Limited for £30,000. The procurement process followed a selective method, with the contract period starting on 12th January 2026 and ending on 31st March 2026. The services are intended for broad locations, including the UK and various international territories. The award was published on the 15th of January 2026, reflecting the completion of the procurement stage.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in social research and risk communication, particularly those experienced with Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) recovery scenarios. Although primarily targeted at larger enterprises, given Defra's specific suitability criteria excluding SMEs and VCSEs, businesses with a robust portfolio in governmental and environmental consultancy will find it lucrative. The international scope indicated suggests potential for global collaboration and knowledge exchange, appealing to businesses looking to expand their expertise in international and public sector projects.
