    Brief

    Ofcom is seeking market engagement to design a flexible market research framework that supports diverse regulatory and policy needs across the communications sector. The framework should enable high-quality research on audience and consumer behaviours, attitudes, experiences and market trends. Required research approaches include continuous measurement, multi-wave tracking, ad hoc studies and mixed-method designs. Research must support policy development, market monitoring, enforcement and regulatory activities while meeting rigorous standards of methodological quality, transparency and quality assurance. Through this consultation, Ofcom aims to understand current market capabilities, innovative research solutions, best practices and any constraints or risks that should inform the procurement strategy and future tender requirements.
