This procurement falls under the social research services category and is located in the United Kingdom. The tender process is currently at the planning stage, with an open procurement method. Submissions must be received by 11:00 am on 9th September 2019, and the contract will commence on 25th September 2019, lasting until 30th April 2020. This opportunity presents a significant chance for businesses specialising in social research and public engagement evaluation to expand their portfolio. Companies that are SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) and possess experience in evaluating public participation initiatives or road congestion policies will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The requirement for registration on the Crown Commercial Service e-Sourcing Suite emphasises the need for potential providers to act promptly to take advantage of this opportunity. ## Notice The National Infrastructure Commission (NIC), has a requirement for an external evaluator.
