## Summary

The University of East Anglia procured participant recruitment and management through Prolific, an online platform providing access to pre-screened research participants for academic and professional research. The service supports research by enabling the university to recruit participants through the platform. The awarded service is classified as survey conduction and social research services. Delivery is in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Prolific Academic Ltd. The University of East Anglia used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 4 September 2025 and runs from 8 September 2025 to 1 December 2026. Its gross value is £37,625. The recorded award is active, and the contract is also recorded as active.

The award shows demand at the University of East Anglia for an online service that recruits and manages pre-screened participants for academic and professional research, including survey and social research. A credible competitor would need a research-ready participant pool, effective screening and recruitment tools, and the ability to manage participants through the research process. The direct award route used for this purchase means a future supplier should be prepared to demonstrate a clear fit with the university’s requirement and the suitability of its platform for research use. The selected supplier was a specialist online platform provider; competitors with comparable participant access and recruitment-management capability would be best placed when this requirement returns to market.
