## Summary

APUC Limited is planning to appoint contractor(s) to provide staff engagement survey services for Scotland’s further and higher education institutions. The work is intended to help institutions assess employee engagement and inform organisational development. The requirement may cover access to survey platforms, survey design and administration, data analysis, reporting and benchmarking, alongside consultation and support with action planning. Suppliers may therefore need to provide an end-to-end service or relevant components of the survey process. The services are for institutions across the Scottish further and higher education sector.

The procurement is at the planning stage; the buyer has set out an intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. The anticipated total value is £5 million. A future notice is expected on 8 March 2027. APUC plans to hold individual online meetings with interested suppliers in November and December 2026. The stated requirement is for contractor(s), and the procurement is described as covering one lot. No procedure or evaluation basis is set out at this stage. The planned supplier meetings are an opportunity for businesses to engage with APUC ahead of the anticipated future notice; they are not a tender submission deadline.

This requirement is likely to suit providers with experience delivering staff or employee engagement surveys to education institutions, as well as specialist firms able to supply survey platforms, design questionnaires, administer surveys, analyse results and produce clear reports or benchmarks. Organisations offering consultation and practical action-planning support may also be well placed, particularly where they can help institutions turn survey findings into organisational development work. The scope could accommodate suppliers offering a complete survey service or expertise in particular parts of the process. APUC has planned individual online supplier meetings in November and December 2026, giving interested businesses a chance to prepare for the market stage and discuss the requirement with the buyer.
