## Summary

The procurement process for the project titled "Channel 4 Re-licensing research" is being led by OFCOM, based in London, United Kingdom. The industry category is market research services, with a total contract value of 117,919.2 GBP. The procurement method is selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ends on 17th March 2023, and the contract will run from 18th April 2023 to 29th September 2023.

This tender opportunity provides a chance for businesses, especially those in market research services, to engage with OFCOM and potentially secure contracts for research projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate. By conducting new research on Channel 4's audience attitudes and societal impact, companies like Jigsaw Research, the current supplier, demonstrate how tailored services can drive business growth and innovation in the media sector.

## Notice

On 11 March 2014, Ofcom announced that Channel 4 Corporation's (C4C) licence would be renewed for a 10-year period, and is due to expire on 28 December 2024. Following the Government's decision not to privatise C4C, Ofcom will be undertaking its statutory process of renewing the licence where we will determine the appropriate conditions for a replacement licence and the duration of the new licence. Ofcom will be consulting on our proposals for the conditions of the C4C's new licence in autumn 2023. There has been a significant change in media habits and how audiences consume content over the last 10 years - the way audiences are watching content, who they are watching with and the devices they are watching on. This has made it harder for public service broadcasters (PSBs) to compete for audiences and maintain their current offering. New research is required to explore audiences attitudes of the services provided by C4C, how people see its purpose in the society and whether their expectations have changed since the current licence was issued.
