## Summary

The Home Office has awarded a contract for COVID19 Polling services to MARKET & OPINION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL LTD. The contract has a value of £150,000 and covers public-opinion polling services. The procurement process began on May 3, 2020, with a tender period ending on the same date. The contract period is from May 4, 2020, to November 4, 2020. The polling activity will be conducted across various locations, including the United Kingdom.

This tender for COVID19 Polling services presents opportunities for businesses in the public-opinion polling industry to participate and provide their services. Companies with expertise in conducting public awareness surveys and measuring attitudes can compete for this contract. As the contract is for a limited duration of up to 6 months, businesses that can meet urgent polling needs for COVID-19 related activities are well-suited to engage in this tender opportunity.

## Notice

This is a COVID19 requirement, justifiable under Reg 32. The Home Office Communications Directorate needs to be able to efficiently conduct quick turnaround polling across the UK. This is to measure public awareness of, and/or attitudes to current Home Office policy areas during the current COVID-19 crisis and, in some cases, establish benchmarks of certain behaviours. These polls may cover the full Home Office policy portfolio linked to COVID-19. It is our expectation that we would run a regular poll (comprising c.10 core questions plus c.5-10 ad hoc questions) and supplement this with ad hoc polls as needed. We expect to start polling weekly and reduce the frequency over time (e.g. from fortnightly to monthly). This is a limited duration contract of up to 6 months to meet urgent polling needs for Home Office COVID-19 activity.
