This procurement process involves the contract commission for fieldwork and related tasks, classified under general public services, with an industry focus on services.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in research and fieldwork services. The procurement process included four bids, all from SMEs, and participation from both UK and non-EU businesses, suggesting a competitive landscape that encourages diverse business engagement. Companies with expertise in project management, comprehensive fieldwork services, and an ability to deliver within strict timescales would find this opportunity particularly suited to their capabilities.
