## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency, acting on behalf of the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, has initiated a procurement process for market research services titled "R&M104a Qualitative Insights - General". This falls under the services category with a focus on market research. The procurement is at the stage of amendment, extending the contract expiry from 5th September 2023 to 31st March 2024. The procurement location is in London, United Kingdom.

This tender by the UK Health Security Agency provides business growth opportunities for companies that specialize in market research services. Businesses with experience in conducting qualitative research to understand public perceptions and attitudes towards health-related matters, such as COVID and future pandemics, would be well-suited to compete. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the award has already been granted to Discovery Research Limited with a contract value of £1,200,000 signed on 16th November 2021.

## Notice

Zero additional value extensions to the contract extending the expiry date as below:

5th September 2023 to 31st March 2024

These were an extension of time only to allow for project delays via Reg 72.--(1) (e) where the modifications, irrespective of their value, are not substantial 

This is a delayed publication of the modification as there was a discrepancy between the Atamis record which allowed for extensions and the original Contract Award Notice that had not allowed for the extensions, meaning it was mistakenly assumed to be an allowable Reg 72 that did not require a revised Notice
