## Summary

The Cabinet Office procured mid- to long-term marketing research agency services for the Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA). The requirement covers research and related consultancy, supporting IBCA’s marketing and research needs under the Research and Insights commercial agreement. This is a services contract, classified under research and development services and related consultancy services. The work is associated with the Cabinet Office and IBCA requirement; the procurement data does not identify a named delivery site. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. It was structured as a call-off from the Research and Insights framework, Lot 1, rather than a standalone open-market procurement.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from the RM6126 Research and Insights framework, Lot 1. The tender was complete and the contract was awarded to IPSOS (Market Research) Ltd on 10 August 2026. The awarded value is £204,277 including the stated GBP currency. The estimated procurement value ranged from £204,277 to £281,463. The contract period runs from 11 August 2026 to 10 August 2028. The tender submission deadline was 2 July 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off process; the available data does not state the individual award criteria or weightings. One supplier is recorded as having received the award, and the award status is active.

This procurement demonstrates established public-sector demand for a research agency capable of delivering mid- to long-term marketing research and related consultancy for a sensitive national compensation programme. A credible future supplier would need strong research design, insight generation, stakeholder engagement and marketing research capability, with the capacity to support a government client over a sustained contract. Experience of delivering robust, impartial research in complex or high-profile public-service settings would be relevant, particularly where communications and public understanding are important. Suppliers should also be able to operate through an appropriate public-sector framework or comparable purchasing route. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, so a specialist research business with sufficient delivery capacity could be well placed when comparable work returns to market.
