## Summary

The "Get Britain Working Trailblazers" procurement process, managed by the Department for Work and Pensions, has been initiated under the tag 'award'. This project focuses on the evaluation of the Get Britain Working Trailblazers, employing multi-year, mixed methods research services classified under CPV code 73110000.

The value of the contract is £1,478,189 GBP and it was awarded to NatCen Social Research using a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement.

Companies within the research industry looking for growth and diversification would find this project an ideal opportunity to contribute to national programmes with a broad geographic scope.
