Stakeholder Survey 2025

The Defence Reform Act 2014 established the Single Source Regulations Office ("SSRO") as an independent regulator of the UK Government's procurement of single source military equipment and services. The SSRO is the custodian of the single source procurement framework and has several functions under the Act and the Single Source Contract Regulations 2014.

The SSRO is seeking to appoint an external organisation to undertake its stakeholder survey and produce a report setting out the analysed and benchmarked results with commentary.

The SSRO intend the successful contractor to carry out the stakeholder survey in two parts from January to February 2025. Consistent with previous surveys the SSRO require the delivery of an initial online survey of stakeholders, followed by a set of qualitative telephone or online (e.g., Zoom, Teams etc) interviews with a representative sample of stakeholders. The SSRO require a draft written report from the contractor by 17 March 2025 and a final written report from the contractor by 31 March 2025.
