Currently in the planning stage, the CA aims to explore options for establishing an online panel to conduct surveys that represent the local population's views on transportation, housing, employment, and community issues. Interested suppliers are invited to submit feedback by 20th September 2021, with a future notice regarding the tender expected on 18th October 2021. The CA, located in Leeds, UK, seeks to transition to a more centralised and flexible research model, moving away from traditional telephone interviews. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in market research and online survey methodologies. Companies that excel in delivering innovative online research solutions and can demonstrate experience in engaging with diverse demographic groups will find themselves well-positioned to compete. Given the West Yorkshire CA’s shift toward online engagement, firms offering cost-effective, flexible, and comprehensive research services tailored to both business-to-consumer and business-to-business contexts are especially encouraged to respond and participate in this consultation phase. ## Notice Since its formation in 2014, the West Yorkshire Combined Authority (CA) has conducted a range of behavioural research via discrete commissions. This ranges from full-service research commissions to fieldwork-only services. We recognise there is an opportunity to move away from this model towards a more centralised, flexible approach. In addition, feedback from research companies has indicated that some research projects that have traditionally been conducted via telephone interviews might be better suited to online-based techniques. We believe that the growth of online activity and smartphone uptake by a wider range of age groups makes conducting statistically robust, representative online surveys a more viable option than they have been previously. We are therefore considering flexible low-cost options for establishing a West Yorkshire online panel.Prior to procurement, the CA wishes to consult with the market on conducting a range of primary research activity using an online panel ### Lot Information Lot 1 West Yorkshire Combined Authority (CA) is interested in exploring options to procure an online panel that would service business to customer (b2c) research activity.
