## Summary

The award has been granted by the Office of Water Services (OFWAT) for a research tender titled "Invitation to tender (ITT) Ofwat and Consumer Council for Water research on incidents". The tender aims to deliver qualitative and/or quantitative research on water and wastewater incidents, with a contract value of £150,000 GBP. The procurement method used is selective, involving a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender period ended on 21st April 2023, and the contract period spans from 30th May 2023 to 30th November 2024.

This opportunity created by the award of the tender can benefit businesses, particularly research agencies familiar with conducting research with customers who have experienced water-related incidents. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this tender suitable due to the specific research nature of the project. Interested businesses should consider the proximity of the delivery addresses in England and Wales and the procurement stage being completed, with Blue Marble Research Limited currently holding the active contract for this opportunity.

## Notice

deliver an important programme of research into the experiences of household customers when water and wastewater incidents take place. The 'what, when and how' of the contract will be dependent partly on when incidents take place and how to efficiently conduct meaningful research with customers who have experienced those incidents. The contract is for qualitative and/or quantitative research with people who have experienced water and/or wastewater incidents in their homes or gardens. We expect the research to take place fairly shortly after an incident has taken place - but with sufficient time allowed for the incident to be resolved and, if appropriate, compensation to have been provided.
