## Summary

The Department for Business & Trade has awarded a contract for the "Finance and Investment Decisions Survey 2025" in the services industry category. Based in London, the project focuses on business research, and IFF Research Limited, also located in London, has been selected as the supplier. The procurement process was executed directly, below the threshold, without competition, with the contract award concluded on 17th October 2025. The contract began on 22nd October 2025 and is set to run until 31st March 2026, with a possible extension until 30th September 2026 if needed. The total contract value amounts to £139,000.01.

This contract provides significant opportunities for business growth specifically in the research services sector. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in data analysis and business research would find such opportunities well-aligned with their capabilities. The absence of a competitive bidding process in this procurement method suggests that relationship-building and niche expertise in finance-related research could be advantageous for future similar opportunities. Given the nature of the contract, businesses with a foundation in handling comprehensive surveys and investment assessments could leverage this opportunity to expand their service offerings and gain a foothold within the public sector market.
