Social research procurement covers policy and programme evaluations, surveys of public attitudes and experience, resident surveys, qualitative and ethnographic research, consultation analysis, literature reviews, opinion polling and panel research. Fieldwork and analysis can be bought as separate pieces.
Social research is mostly commissioned as call-offs from research and analysis frameworks split into lots, alongside stand-alone evaluations and surveys. UK and devolved government departments, councils, health bodies, regulators, heritage bodies and universities commission social research.

What counts as a social research tender?
A social research tender is a contract commissioned by a public body to study social attitudes, behaviours or the effects of a policy, rather than commercial market research for a private client. Universities and independent research institutes are common suppliers for this work.
Who buys social research services?
Government departments, local authorities, health bodies and universities buy social research services to evaluate policies, understand public attitudes or assess the impact of a programme. These buyers may run the work directly or through a framework agreement.
What work does a social research contract cover?
A social research contract can cover survey design, interviews, focus groups, data analysis and the write-up of findings for a public body. Contracts vary from a single evaluation study to a multi-year framework for ongoing research and analysis support.
What CPV codes cover social research tenders?
Social research notices carry 79315000 (Social research services), 73110000 (Research services) and 79419000 (Evaluation consultancy services).
How do I find social research contracts before they are formally tendered?
Read departmental research and evaluation plans, programme evaluation requirements, residents survey schedules and early market engagement notices for research frameworks, which show 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.
