## Summary

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has completed the procurement process for the tender titled "Digital Comparison Tools - Consumer Research," which falls under the market research services category. This procurement was conducted through an open procedure, aimed at understanding price comparison websites following a confirmation of the CMA's intentions in November 2015. The tender period concluded on 8th September 2016, with a contract awarded on 27th September 2016. The contract, valued at £201,498, commenced on 28th September 2016 and is set to finish on 20th March 2017, with delivery primarily in London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the market research sector, to collaborate with the CMA. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this an excellent chance to showcase their capabilities in consumer research and analysis, thereby fostering innovation and enhancing consumer insights. Companies specialising in data analysis, market research methodologies, and consumer behaviour studies would be well-suited to pursue similar contracts in the future.

## Notice

In November 2015, the CMA confirmed, in its response to HMT's Competition Plan, its intention to undertake an analysis of price comparison websites (PCWs) during 2016. The CMA is considering commissioning research in support of this work and, we therefore invited proposals for consumer research.
