Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about research contracts, research tenders, commissioned research, research and evaluation services, research study, research and analysis services, evaluation research, policy research, impact evaluation in the UK public sector.
What kinds of work count as research tenders?
The category covers commissioned studies, evaluations and analysis rather than academic research funding. Recent examples include a Scottish Government-commissioned study on accessible housing guidance, a Home Office research and analysis call-off on homeland security, and a Department for Transport evaluation-research framework covering multiple policy programmes. Buyers range from central government departments to police and crime commissioners, regulators and universities running research for a third party.
What CPV codes cover research contracts?
Research notices carry 73110000 (Research services) and 73000000 (Research and development services and related consultancy services).
Which framework is used to buy commissioned research and evaluation in the UK public sector?
The Crown Commercial Service Research and Insights dynamic purchasing system is a common route for commissioned research and evaluation. Buyers such as the Welsh Government and the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology run mini competitions on it for individual studies and evaluations.
How do I find research contracts before they are formally tendered?
Read corporate strategies, service reviews, commissioning plans and expiry dates for existing contracts, which show research work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
