## Summary

The contract for the "National Survey for Wales, 2026-27 to 2031/2033" was awarded on 6 May 2025 by the Welsh Government (Llywodraeth Cymru). The survey falls under the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services and will be executed across Wales. This contract is currently in the award stage. The procurement method followed was an open procedure, involving active participation from businesses to carry out fieldwork and supply data files annually until March 2031, with possible extensions up to March 2033. The contract ceiling value is up to £21,450,000 GBP, depending on additional options permissible within the tender. The National Centre for Social Research, located in London, has been chosen as the supplier.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in research services, data analysis, and consultancy services across the social research domain. Businesses that can integrate technology, especially for online-first survey methodologies, stand a competitive advantage due to the nature of the survey’s execution. Firms with expertise in market and customer research, as well as those capable of offering continuous annual surveying, will find this contract beneficial. It also aligns well with larger-scale organisations given its substantial value and the long-term nature of the contract, making it suitable for consortia. Participation in such projects could enhance business credibility within the public sector and open further avenues for collaboration with governmental bodies.

The proposed survey will cover a wide range of topics, gathering data from a random sample of adults across Wales, and will be online-first (with an alternative mode available).
