## Summary

The Money and Pensions Service (MaPS), located at Borough Hall, 138 Cauldwell Street, Bedford, England, has contracted Ipsos (Market Research) Ltd. to undertake a comprehensive social research project titled "Pensions Dashboards Social Research Project". This contract aims to explore the outcomes of Pensions Dashboards via longitudinal surveys, focusing on user experiences and subsequent actions. Awarded on 10th March 2026 under the procurement stage of Award, the project operates within the industry category of Social research services with an award value of £316,820 GBP. The procurement employed a selective method, utilising a call-off from the RM6126 Research and Insights dynamic purchasing system. The contract spans from 22nd March 2026 to 21st March 2027, set to take place across the United Kingdom.

This research project presents significant opportunities for businesses skilled in providing social research services, especially those adept in conducting both qualitative and quantitative surveys. As the project targets user engagement with new financial dashboard tools, firms possessing expertise in customer behaviour analysis and user experience improvement will find competitive advantages here. The procurement favors small and medium enterprises (SMEs) but excludes voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs), aligning with the potential for tailored market research solutions to inform financial service enhancements. Businesses that can leverage such data-driven insight to influence public pension understanding stand poised for growth in the financial research sector.

## Notice

The Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) wishes to commission a supplier to undertake a series of longitudinal quantitative surveys and qualitative research to indicate the likely outcomes of Pensions Dashboards when they are made available to the public. The main aims of this research will be to understand, for a nationally representative sample of potential dashboard users, the experience of using the pensions dashboard, what initial outcomes they receive, and what they go on to do, if anything, with the information provided by the dashboard. The contract is awarded, following a further competition, as a call-off from RM6126 Research and Insights dynamic purchasing system.
