Market Research Tenders and Contracts

See open market research tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

Market research procurement covers opinion polling and omnibus surveys, resident and customer satisfaction surveys, public consultation research and qualitative research such as focus groups and depth interviews. Business surveys, policy evaluation and travel behaviour surveys come up as well.

Market research work mostly sits on standing frameworks, including the Crown Commercial Service research and insights dynamic purchasing system and the Scottish Government marketing services framework, rather than one-off tenders, and larger programmes run as multi-year call-offs. Regulators, central government departments, local authorities, combined authorities, housing associations and Irish agencies are the buyers.
