The Social and Behavioural Research team (SBR) within the Buyer's organisation undertakes cross-cutting research and evidence gathering to support these priorities and work closely with policy teams to deliver research to inform specific policy objectives. Social research within the Buyer is wide ranging and can cover all policy areas and interests of the department. Nevertheless, it is possible to group the work of SBR into two broad strands: Cross-cutting work: Research projects which cut across more than one policy area, often investigating transport users' attitudes, experiences, and behaviours. Specific policy support: These projects are usually undertaken in close collaboration with one or more policy teams. They typically aim to inform policy design and delivery by providing answers to relevant policy questions and making practical policy recommendations. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55802c27-65c8-46f4-853c-34272ed0138e | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a dynamic purchasing system | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Apr 2022 | | Submission deadline | 18 Feb 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 3 Apr 2022 | | Contract period | 3 Apr 2022 - 3 Apr 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £2,500,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CROWN COMMERCIAL SERVICE | | Locality | LIVERPOOL | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L3 9PP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD72 Liverpool | | Local authority | Liverpool | | Electoral ward | City Centre North | | Westminster constituency | Liverpool Riverside | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | IPSOS (MARKET RESEARCH | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79315000 - Social research services ## Release History - 4 Apr 2022 at 10:27 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55802c27-65c8-46f4-853c-34272ed0138e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55802c27-65c8-46f4-853c-34272ed0138e 4th April 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2d80d4eb-9e4d-48ea-a24b-0f5e28184cd1 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/dbb2a44c-1c0c-466e-9b41-6ec98dd55751 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4227644d-ec8f-4ab5-a5b4-56ee362637fd ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/crown-commercial-service ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
