Contract Summary

We are seeking a market research agency to conduct qualitative research into the lived experiences of particular patient and GOC registrant groups and the difficulties they face in accessing, using, or delivering eye care. Patients • GOC research suggests that some patient groups (such as those with a disability, ethnic minorities and those experiencing difficult life circumstances such as financial or personal difficulties) report greater difficulties in accessing and using eye care services. GOC registrants • GOC research suggests that particular groups of optometrists and dispensing opticians (such as those with a disability, females and ethnic minorities) are more likely to experience challenging working conditions which can impact on their ability to deliver safe patient care. We have an approved budget of up to £70,000 including VAT and all other contractor costs. Proposals over £70,000 will not be considered. The deadline for tenders is 5pm 29 October, with a view to delivering the final report by the end of March 2025.
