Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of a Primary Research Provider for DfT

Notice Description

The Buyer's Areas of Research Interest 2021 describes the research priorities and evidence requirements of the Buyer's policy teams over the medium-long term. The Social and Behavioural Research team (SBR) within the Buyer's organisation undertakes cross-cutting research and evidence gathering to support these priorities and work closely with policy teams to deliver research to inform specific policy objectives. Social research within the Buyer is wide ranging and can cover all policy areas and interests of the department. Nevertheless, it is possible to group the work of SBR into two broad strands: Cross-cutting work: Research projects which cut across more than one policy area, often investigating transport users' attitudes, experiences, and behaviours. Specific policy support: These projects are usually undertaken in close collaboration with one or more policy teams. They typically aim to inform policy design and delivery by providing answers to relevant policy questions and making practical policy recommendations.
