Research Contracts and Tenders
See open research tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.
Research procurement covers commissioned studies, evaluations and analysis bought by government departments, regulators, health bodies and local authorities: an impact evaluation of a policy, social research into a specific need, or an academic study put out to tender rather than done in-house. It sits apart from opinion polling and consumer market research, which has its own dedicated page on this platform.

How do I find research tenders in the UK public sector?
Search live portals for open research and evaluation notices, or move earlier by tracking the departments, regulators and health bodies that commission this kind of work regularly. Stotles surfaces current research tenders and awarded contracts side by side, filterable by buyer and region, so you can see what has already closed nearby and who won it. Start with what's open now and work backward from there.
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.
How is a research tender different from a market research tender?
Market research covers commissioned surveys, opinion polling and consumer or stakeholder insight work, and has its own dedicated filter on this platform. Research tenders cover the wider category: policy evaluations, social research, academic studies and analysis commissioned by public bodies, which is a broader and largely separate set of buyers and subject matter.
What CPV codes cover research contracts?
Research tenders are catalogued under a general research and development services heading and the narrower research services code. Evaluation-focused notices often carry a separate evaluation-consultancy code alongside one of these two, since a single contract frequently covers both research and evaluation.
How many research tenders are open right now?
The number moves daily. Open tenders are a small share against a much larger pool at pre-tender or early engagement, on top of a substantial number already awarded across the corpus.
