The procurement process follows a selective method through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract period extends from 6th May 2025 to 31st March 2026, providing research services across delivery locations including the United Kingdom, British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and the Rest of the World.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in research, particularly those versed in infrastructure, urban planning, or civil engineering sectors. Companies classified as SMEs are considered suitable to partake in this procurement process, potentially benefiting from the insights gained through such projects. While the awarded contract valued at GBP 90,390 has been given to IPSOS, large-scale firms with relevant expertise can glean strategic knowledge for future tenders or collaborative initiatives with public authorities.

## Notice

The Department for Transport is seeking to gain a better understanding of any issues with the adoption of new roads, primarily built as part of new housing developments, and whether, to help resolve the issues identified, the process of road adoption by the highway authority needs to be reformed.
