Tender description
The Buyer's Areas of Research Interest 2021 describes the research priorities and evidence requirements of the Buyer's policy teams over the medium-long term. The Social and Behavioural Research team (SBR) within the Buyer's organisation undertakes cross-cutting research and evidence gathering to support these priorities and work closely with policy teams to deliver research to inform specific policy objectives. Social research within the Buyer is wide ranging and can cover all policy areas and interests of the department. Nevertheless, it is possible to group the work of SBR into two broad strands: Cross-cutting work: Research projects which cut across more than one policy area, often investigating transport users' attitudes, experiences, and behaviours. Specific policy support: These projects are usually undertaken in close collaboration with one or more policy teams. They typically aim to inform policy design and delivery by providing answers to relevant policy questions and making practical policy recommendations.

About the buyer
The Government Commercial Agency (CCS) is the UK's central buying body, renamed from the Crown Commercial Service in April 2026. As CCS, it ran national buying agreements for public and non-profit bodies across the UK. Government departments and local authorities drew on it as a shared procurement route. Buyers reached suppliers through frameworks, dynamic purchasing systems, dynamic markets and catalogues. Framework places were advertised on Find a Tender, Contracts Finder and its agreements page. Registration ran through an eSourcing portal, a selection questionnaire and a tender assessment on quality and price. Suppliers paid a commission on sales rather than a fee to join.
Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.
Over the past 5 years, most of CCS's contract awards have been in business services, IT services and software and information systems.
