Customer Insights Tracker

Notice Description

The Rail Delivery Group (RDG) is seeking to procure a supplier to deliver three ongoing customer insight tracker surveys: the General Public Tracker, the Rail Demand Tracker, and the Customer Information Survey (InfoTracker). These trackers are essential for understanding public and customer perceptions of the rail industry, demand trends, and satisfaction with information provision, particularly during disruption.

The contract will be for two years, with an option to extend for a further three. All activities must align with PA23 procurement compliance, ensuring transparency, integrity, and data quality. Findings will support RDG's strategic decision-making and stakeholder engagement, with outputs used internally and for external communications.
