The award was made on 21 July 2025 to Beaufort Research Limited, and the contract spans from 21 July 2025 to 20 July 2031, with an option to extend until 2033. This contract involves conducting biennial surveys to measure public confidence in non-degree qualifications in Wales. The procurement was conducted via an open competition under Welsh devolved regulations, focusing on service provision below the financial threshold. This contract presents significant growth opportunities for research firms, particularly those specialising in public opinion surveys and analysis. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in delivering detailed survey analysis and a presence in the Welsh region are well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. Expertise in survey methodologies and data analytics, alongside adherence to public procurement policies such as Cyber Essentials Plus certification or ISO 27001, would enhance a business's eligibility and success in this sector. ## Notice QW runs a program of measuring and exploring confidence in qualifications and the qualification system. An important part of this program has been conducting an annual survey to provide QW with measurements of public confidence in non-degree qualifications in Wales . Beaufort previously ran this, but the Contract has expired. QW are changing to a biennual survey (every two years). The successful bidder will be required to deliver the survey, analyse responses and report on results. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: one extension to cover one additional survey ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/041561-2025 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Jul 2025 | | Submission deadline | 27 May 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 18 Jun 2025 | | Contract period | 20 Jul 2025 - 20 Jul 2031 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £37,500 | | Lots value | £37,500 | | Awards value | £26,140 | | Contracts value | £26,140 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | QUALIFICATIONS WALES | | Locality | NEWPORT | | Post town | Newport | | Postcode | NP10 8AR | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL54 Monmouthshire and Newport | | Local authority | Newport | | Electoral ward | Tredegar Park and Marshfield | | Westminster constituency | Newport West and Islwyn | | Delivery location | TLL Wales | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | BEAUFORT RESEARCH | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 21 Jul 2025 at 10:24 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/041561-2025 - 26 Jun 2025 at 10:21 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/035336-2025 - 1 May 2025 at 14:11 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018497-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/041561-2025 21st July 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/035336-2025 26th June 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018497-2025 1st May 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Assets/NoticeBuilder_FileDownload.aspx?id=332170 Invitation to tender with full specification and instructions - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Assets/NoticeBuilder_FileDownload.aspx?id=332171 Form of Tender - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Assets/NoticeBuilder_FileDownload.aspx?id=332172 Feedom of Information template - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Assets/NoticeBuilder_FileDownload.aspx?id=332173 Response template - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Assets/NoticeBuilder_FileDownload.aspx?id=332174 Pricing template - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Assets/NoticeBuilder_FileDownload.aspx?id=332175 T&Cs ## Notice URLs - http://www.qualifications.wales - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
