## Summary

West Midlands Combined Authority commissioned a private rented sector tenant engagement survey covering the West Midlands. The research is intended to build a robust evidence base for the Authority and local authorities on private renters’ experiences. It will examine housing conditions, affordability, tenants’ experiences and challenges, and awareness of recent legislative changes, establishing a baseline picture of the private rented sector. The work falls within survey and social research services. The delivery location is the West Midlands.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. BMG Research Ltd was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 24 September 2026. Its period runs from 24 September to 30 November 2026. The contract is valued at £36,300 excluding VAT (£43,560 including VAT). The buyer used a below-threshold limited competition. The published data does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

For future research of this kind, credible suppliers will need to design and deliver robust tenant engagement and social research that provides evidence useful to both a regional authority and local councils. Relevant capability includes researching private renters’ experiences, housing conditions, affordability, tenant challenges and awareness of legislative changes, then producing a reliable baseline for understanding the sector across the West Midlands. The award shows that this buyer procured a focused, single-lot research service through a below-threshold limited competition, and that an SME research company was selected. Suppliers with relevant private rented sector insight, sound survey delivery and the capacity to cover the West Midlands would be well placed to demonstrate fit when this requirement returns to market.
