## Summary

Ofcom, the UK's Independent Communications Regulator, has initiated a procurement process (Tender ID: C20242108) seeking third-party syndicated data support to enhance its Research & Intelligence team's understanding of the audiovisual market in the UK. The tender, which falls under the Data Analysis Services industry category (CPV Code: 72316000) and focuses on services, has been split into two modules—Content Analytics and Market Data. The procurement process is currently active, with the tender stage concluding on 31st October 2024. Interested suppliers must submit their proposals electronically by 12:00 noon on this date. The contracts period starts on 14th March 2025 and ends on 13th March 2026, with possible extensions of up to two further twelve-month periods.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in data analysis, technical consultancy, business analysis, and data collection and collation services. The detailed requirements for each module mean that providers with expertise in content analytics, market data segmentation, and media landscape metrics will find ample scope for engagement. The procurement method is an open procedure, making it accessible to a wide range of businesses including SMEs. As Ofcom evaluates and awards each module separately, businesses can target their proposals more effectively and stand a better chance of contributing to Ofcom's audiovisual sector research. This tender can help drive business growth for entities offering comprehensive data solutions and expand their portfolio within the UK’s dynamic audiovisual market.

## Notice

Ofcom has a requirement for third-party syndicated data support to further the Research & Intelligence team's understanding of the audiovisual market in the UK. While the team collects a large amount of its evidence directly from industry stakeholders, it requires further data to supplement its knowledge and understanding of the media landscape. This particularly relates to the video-on-demand (VoD) landscape, as well as the pay TV market and the audio sector. This requirement has been split into two modules. Tenderers can submit a proposal for one, or both modules. Tenderers must be clear within their proposal as to which modules they wish to be considered and evaluated for. Each module will be evaluated and awarded separately by Ofcom. As a minimum, the service must deliver the following below. For each module, the service should preferably also provide equivalent or applicable metrics for the audio sector and the online industry. Module 1: Content analytics Detail on the hours and titles that comprise UK VoD providers' catalogues, for both subscription and free-to-view/ad-funded business models (i.e. subscription VoD, broadcaster VoD, ad-funded VoD - abbreviated as SVoD, BVoD and AVoD respectively). Module 2: Market data Subscriber, revenue and spend information for pay TV and VoD providers in the UK market.
