## Summary

The Consumer Council for Water (CCW) is conducting a tender for a project titled "Flexible Research - Quantitative and Qualitative". This initiative falls under the water distribution and related services industry category and is located across various regions in the United Kingdom, including London, the North East, and the South West. The procurement process is currently in the active tender stage, with submissions closing on 1st October 2021. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st November 2021 and will run until 31st October 2025, following a competitive quotation method due to its status below the procurement threshold.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for market research agencies specialising in both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Businesses that can undertake online, telephone, and face-to-face surveys will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Moreover, companies with expertise in conducting online panel surveys and depth interviews will find this tender valuable for expanding their operations within the water sector, aligning with CCW’s focus on understanding consumer perspectives and issues related to water services.

## Notice

CCW wishes to appoint a market research agency to provide research services for the following: A. Online, telephone or face to face omnibus surveys In the last year, CCW has commissioned three omnibus surveys. These have covered a diverse range of topics looking at the views of current and future, water bill payers across a range of issues, seeing how people prefer social tariffs to be funded, and looking at awareness of water resources. B. Online panel surveys These have so far covered things such as SME awareness of the retail market and awareness of CCW, and more recently, SME views on the frequency of meter readings. C. Online discussions In the last year, CCW commissioned online discussions to understand preferences for options to help people who struggle to afford their bills D. Online or telephone depth interviews CCW recently asked people to review and feedback back on the factsheets on CCW's website.
