## Summary

The Home Office, located in London, has completed a procurement process for a tender titled "COVID19 Polling". This contract is classified under the Public-opinion polling services category, with a total value of £150,000 and a duration of up to six months, running from 4th May 2020 to 4th November 2020. The procurement was executed under a method classified as "Other - n/a". The tender process was initiated on 26th June 2020, with the end date for submissions set on 3rd May 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in public-opinion research and polling services. Businesses with expertise in conducting surveys, data analysis, and reporting on public sentiment particularly during crises would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts. Engaging in such procurements could facilitate growth and establish firms as trusted partners to governmental bodies during urgent public health matters.

## Notice

This is a COVID19 requirement, justifiable under Reg 32. The Home Office Communications Directorate needs to be able to efficiently conduct quick turnaround polling across the UK. This is to measure public awareness of, and/or attitudes to current Home Office policy areas during the current COVID-19 crisis and, in some cases, establish benchmarks of certain behaviours. These polls may cover the full Home Office policy portfolio linked to COVID-19. It is our expectation that we would run a regular poll (comprising c.10 core questions plus c.5-10 ad hoc questions) and supplement this with ad hoc polls as needed. We expect to start polling weekly and reduce the frequency over time (e.g. from fortnightly to monthly). This is a limited duration contract of up to 6 months to meet urgent polling needs for Home Office COVID-19 activity.
