## Summary

The procurement process concerns the "Pupil and Parent Online Panel" being managed by the Department for Education in the United Kingdom. This initiative, classified under research and development services, aims to establish an online panel consisting of approximately 5,000 participants (2,500 parents of primary school children and 2,500 secondary school pupils and their parents) to assess the impact of the Covid-19 crisis on children and young people. The procurement undertook an open tender method, with the tender period concluding on 10th June 2020, and the contract running from 6th July 2020 to 29th January 2021, reflecting significant engagement with the education sector during this critical time.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in research, consultancy, and data analysis services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The selection of a supplier for this contract emphasises the importance of insight gathering from educational stakeholders, and suitable competitors will likely include those with experience in public health research, survey methodology, and participant engagement strategies, aligning their services with the needs of the Department for Education.
