## Summary

Qualifications Wales, a prominent public authority in Wales, has completed a procurement process to renew the framework for conducting their annual staff survey. The contract, titled "Staff Survey," has a total value of £62,240 and spans from 2 June 2025 to 1 June 2028. The procurement, conducted through an open competition below the threshold, was awarded to Strategic Research and Insight Ltd, an SME located in Cardiff, UK. This service-focused procurement falls under the 'Research and Development services and related consultancy services' category, covering the entire UKL region with contractual provisions allowing a one-year extension based on performance and scope compliance. The survey includes comprehensive analysis and reporting, conducted annually in October, with optional workshops or focus groups.

The tender presents a significant opportunity for research and consultancy firms, particularly those specialising in employee engagement and data analysis, to bolster their portfolio and secure continuous work with public sector clients. Companies with capabilities in conducting comprehensive surveys, data analysis, and facilitating workshops or focus groups stand to benefit substantially from such contracts. The successful bidder, in this case, demonstrated the ability to provide high-quality data collection and reporting processes, ensuring compliance with professional standards and leveraging an efficient survey platform. The nature of this procurement encourages SMEs to engage in public sector projects, given the manageable contract size and the collaborative, open competition framework that caters to organisations within and below the threshold limits.

## Notice

The Contract is to deliver the annual staff Survey for up to 120 QW employees, including the option to include workshop/focus groups to work with a small number of employees in discussing each year's questions and or results. The survey is run around October each year with analysis and reporting completed in November.
