Market Research Tenders and Contracts

Search live portals for open market research notices, or move earlier by tracking the buyers who run this work. On Stotles you can follow the regulators, government departments and public bodies that commission surveys, polling and tracking studies, and see the tenders and frameworks they run before they close. For more, explore the platform.

Market research work is coded under a family of headings rather than one: dedicated market research services, the broader market and economic research and polling category, social research, and a range of survey design, conduction and analysis codes. Buyers pick whichever fits how the commission is framed, and a single notice often carries two or three of these together.

Several standing frameworks cover this work. Ofcom runs a dedicated Market Research Framework, the Office for Students has a Framework for Polling and Opinion Research Services split by audience, and the Scottish Government's Marketing Services Framework Agreement carries its own Market Research Services lot. Buyers also run standalone tenders outside these frameworks for one-off studies.

Most of the activity in the corpus is awarded work rather than notices currently open for bids, since much of it runs as recurring tracking studies and framework call-offs rather than fresh one-off competitions. Open competitions do appear, typically when a buyer is re-letting a framework or commissioning a new standalone study.

Recent notices cover resident and tenant satisfaction surveys, visitor and tourism impact studies, opinion polling on public policy, mystery shopping audits and standing panels for tracking sentiment over time. Buyers range from communications regulators to local authorities and health bodies.
