## Summary

The Pensions Regulator bought behavioural science expertise, classified as research consultancy services. The work supports the regulator’s activities and is described as provision of behavioural science expertise. The contract was awarded to Behavioural Insights Ltd. The available procurement details do not identify a delivery town or more specific work outputs.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Pensions Regulator used a below-threshold limited competition. Behavioural Insights Ltd was awarded the contract, signed on 16 September 2026. The contract value is £24,205.83 excluding VAT (£29,047 including VAT). The contract period runs from 16 September 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an optional extension to 31 August 2027 if the contracted work is not completed by 31 March 2027. The procurement was organised as one lot.

This award shows demand from The Pensions Regulator for specialist behavioural science expertise delivered through research consultancy. Behavioural Insights Ltd, an SME, was selected. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need credible behavioural science and research consultancy capability, and the ability to complete the contracted work within a defined, relatively short delivery period. The procurement used limited competition and was below the relevant threshold, indicating a small-scale requirement rather than a large, open-market contract.
