    Brief

    Ofcom seeks a provider to deliver flexible online research panel services on an ad-hoc, call-off basis to support regulatory and policy work. The provider will conduct various research projects including one-off quantitative surveys, quick polls, recurring trackers, qualitative research, and mixed-method studies. For each project, the provider will collaborate with Ofcom to determine scope, methodology, sample strategy, timeline, and deliverables. Services encompass the full research lifecycle: questionnaire and discussion guide development, sampling and recruitment, scripting, fieldwork execution, data processing, analysis, and reporting. This arrangement allows Ofcom to commission research as needed without long-term commitment, ensuring cost-effectiveness and agility in market research capabilities.
