This procurement process is currently active and follows an open procedure, allowing for broad participation. The deadline for tender submissions is 28th February 2020, and the contract will commence on 20th March 2020, lasting until 31st March 2023. The project aims to enhance consumer feedback accessibility for energy innovators and other stakeholders, with delivery addresses covering various regions, including the United Kingdom and Europe. This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in software development and data management sectors. Companies experienced in integrating research and database solutions will find a strong alignment with the project requirements, especially those with capabilities in managing research panels and consumer insights. Engaging in this procurement could lead to valuable partnerships and contribute to business growth by establishing connections with a key player in the energy innovation landscape. ## Notice As part of the Research function we offer energy innovators and other customers access to a panel of respondents in order to obtain consumer feedback. The main reason why the panel has been built is the lack of, accessible or publicly available, end user, customers "behind the meter" information. If organisations are developing new products and services, the customer needs to be at the heart of their thinking, or at the very least be taken into consideration. Historically we have used a combination of software packages as the panel has grown and the internal and external requirements have developed. Initially the Consumer Insight team "piggy backed" the marketing communications software to send out emails and attach separate questionnaire links. This method of managing the communications and questionnaire data has meant a variety of unlinked data and databases being used. The manual process of de-duplicating and cleansing data still lends itself to a variety of errors and miscommunication. ESC has been using a more integrated research and database software package which reduces the number of manual interventions and has reduced the number of human errors in the processes of running a research panel including database management, respondents management and the ability to access data quickly.
