C20190246 - Ofcom Market Research Framework

Ofcom's Market Research team commissions primary research services for a range of teams across the organisation, including Consumer Policy, Spectrum Policy Group, Competition Group and the Content and Strategy teams. Examples of our work can be located in the Market Research section of the Ofcom website: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/research-and-data There are four Market Research Lots in the new framework for the provision of standard market research services, each of which relate to a broad area of standard research expertise; quantitative, qualitative, omnibus and online panel research.

If Ofcom has a specialist or niche market research service requirement we may choose to commission that through the framework, or we may choose to commission it via an open Invitation to Tender Process, by inviting specialist suppliers to bid. At this stage of the process, Applicants are invited to express an interest in providing standard market research services to Ofcom in one or more of these lots.

Applicants that pass this initial assessment will be invited to take part in the second stage of the tender. If successful in the second stage of the tender, they will be added as Tenderers to the framework agreement for a particular Lot(s).
