Notice Title

GOC Business Registrant Survey

Notice Description

We are seeking a market research agency to conduct an annual quantitative survey of GOC business registrants. The GOC's register contains nearly 3,000 businesses which provide services such as performing the sight test / eye examination and sell spectacles, contact lenses and other optical appliances.
