The award was officially published on 12th December 2023, with KANTAR PUBLIC UK LIMITED appointed as the supplier. This tender represents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in social research services, particularly those proficient in conducting qualitative research. Although primarily large-scale organisations are suited to undertake such comprehensive projects due to the financial investment and resource mobilisation required, smaller enterprises could potentially leverage partnerships or subcontracting arrangements to participate.
