## Summary

Earlham Institute is buying a socio-economic impact report on its own activities. The work is a market and economic research service, including analysis relevant to economic impact, markets and statistics. The buyer is the Earlham Institute, a public authority based at Norwich Research Park in Norwich. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a single requirement rather than a multi-service procurement, focused on producing an evidence-based assessment of the institute’s socio-economic impact. It may suit economic consultancies, research organisations and providers of impact evaluation or socio-economic analysis.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was awarded to SQW Limited, an SME, on 2 June 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 2 June to 14 July 2026. Its value is £41,606 excluding VAT, or £49,927.20 including VAT. There was one completed lot covering the full requirement. The published procurement information identifies market and economic research, polling and statistics as the classification. The outcome shows that the Earlham Institute selected a specialist consultancy through a non-competitive below-threshold route rather than inviting competing tenders.

This award indicates demand from the Earlham Institute for specialist socio-economic impact assessment rather than general research alone. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to design and deliver an evidence-based impact report, analyse economic and market effects, and present findings clearly for a research institute and its stakeholders. Relevant capability would include socio-economic research, economic evaluation, data analysis, statistical methods, report writing and the ability to translate evidence into a defensible account of institutional impact. Experience of working with public authorities, universities or research organisations would strengthen credibility. The selected supplier’s SME status also shows that the work can be delivered by a focused specialist consultancy, rather than requiring the scale of a large general contractor.
