## Summary

The procurement process titled "RM5797 SO-10474 PIP Research" is conducted by the Crown Commercial Service, focusing on research consultancy services in the UK. The procurement method is a selective restricted procedure, aimed at gaining insights from DLA claimants for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). Key dates include the tender period which ended on 24th August 2015, and the contract period that started on 9th September 2015, concluding on 8th September 2016. The total value of the contract awarded is £99,500.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in research consultancy, to engage with public sector clients. Companies capable of conducting qualitative research and tracking studies would be well-positioned to compete for this type of work, offering insights that can significantly enhance understanding of claimant experiences and preferences. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given the suitability designation of the project.

## Notice

DWP have two strands of work to provide insights from DLA claimants. At a high level they would like to test the awareness levels and claimants understanding of the changes to DLA and process for claiming PIP through tracking research. Secondly DWP have limited insight of their audience and would like to deliver some qualitative research around characteristics, channel preferences and feedback on our campaign. DWP would like to use an external supplier to deliver the qualitative research and the first wave of tracking to start in September 2015. The second wave of tracking will run in March 2016.
