## Summary

APUC Limited is planning to procure staff engagement survey services for Scotland’s further and higher education institutions. The requirement may cover access to survey platforms, survey design and administration, analysis of results, reporting and benchmarking, as well as consultation and support with action planning. The services are intended to help institutions assess staff engagement and use the findings to inform organisational development. The work is for the Scottish further and higher education sector.

The process is at the planning stage: APUC has set out its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The requirement is planned as a single lot. The estimated procurement value is £5 million. APUC expects to hold individual online meetings with suppliers in November and December 2026, and anticipates publishing a future notice on 8 March 2027. These dates are planning expectations, not bid deadlines.

The requirement is likely to suit suppliers serving further and higher education institutions with staff engagement survey expertise. Providers able to offer a survey platform alongside survey design and administration, data analysis, reporting and benchmarking may be well placed to meet the potential scope. Experience supporting consultation and translating survey findings into organisational development and action planning would also be relevant. The buyer’s planned supplier meetings offer a chance to discuss the requirement while it is being developed.
