This project falls under the industry category of market research services and is focused in London, United Kingdom. The procurement method used was selective, with the contract value set at £134,262.50. The contract period commenced on 1st April 2022 and will conclude on 31st March 2025. The successful tenderer, YouGov PLC, was awarded the contract on 28th February 2022, following a tender period that ended on 14th January 2022. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the market research and analytics sector, particularly those experienced in conducting nationwide surveys and data analysis. Companies that specialise in public opinion polling, behavioural research, or those with innovative methodologies for tracking consumer attitudes would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. The ability to engage with specific target demographics, including the British travelling public and expatriate populations, will be advantageous for businesses seeking to expand their reach in public sector research projects. ## Notice The successful research agency will conduct bi-annual research in the form of a survey with a nationally representative sample of the UK population, aged 16+, with specific interest in the British travelling public and expatriate populations, in order to establish baseline attitudes to travelling behaviours and habits. Overall sample size will need to be sufficient to provide robust subgroup analysis. These attitudes and behaviours should include amongst others: taking personal responsibility for informing themselves about preparations for travel, the destination they intend to visit, entry requirements overseas and for returning to the UK, buying adequate travel and health insurance, which, if any, FCDO communications channels are used, FCDO social media awareness, specific FCDO comms brand awareness, awareness of local laws and customs and FCDO reputation. Our travel advice is guidance only and relies on travellers taking personal responsibility for their actions. Ultimately, it is their decision as to whether they travel to any given location. We will share the previous survey with the successful agency. Ordinarily we would want tracking to take place in March/April and September/October with the results delivered mid-June and mid-November respectively. The successful agency will have the capacity to undertake periodic polling on specific campaigns, if needed. We believe the most straightforward way to do this is likely to be pre and post campaign tracking (e.g. three surveys) to be able to demonstrate the effectiveness of each campaign with its main target audience, but we welcome your views and suggestions on the best way of evaluating effectively and cost efficiently. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ce0bfe5e-48f6-48a0-a0cf-2d0fb5a6e101 | | 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 | 7 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | 14 Jan 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 28 Feb 2022 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2022 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £134,262 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £134,262 | | 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 | FOREIGN COMMONWEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2AH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | YOUGOV | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79310000 - Market research services ## Release History - 7 Mar 2022 at 10:20 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ce0bfe5e-48f6-48a0-a0cf-2d0fb5a6e101 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ce0bfe5e-48f6-48a0-a0cf-2d0fb5a6e101 7th March 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/foreign-commonwealth-development-office ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
