## Summary

The public procurement process conducted by the Home Office, located at 2 Marsham Street, London, has recently culminated in a contract award for the provision of Complex User Research participants to support their digital product testing. The award, valued at £120,000 gross, falls under the services category, specifically social research services, with a CPV classification of 79315000. The procurement method was a direct award due to urgency, as the initial competitive tender did not fulfil the requirements. The award includes a contract period from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, with an option to extend by six months. This tender process is complete, and the signed contract is scheduled for 1 July 2026.

This contract presents significant opportunities for social research services providers, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), given the suitability criteria specified. The successful supplier, People Street Collaborative C.I.C, an SME based in London, is an example of how small businesses can gain strategic partnerships and expand their market presence through such government contracts. Businesses involved in user research and related digital services could find similar opportunities in future tenders, especially those that require agility and the ability to deliver on urgent requirements. This contract highlights the importance of being prepared for direct awards, especially when strategic delivery support is needed swiftly to meet government objectives.
