## Summary

This contracting process, managed by Oxfordshire County Council, involved the procurement of research consultancy services to conduct a countywide residents' survey. The project, titled "PROVISION OF RESEARCH CONSULTANCY SERVICES FOR A COUNTYWIDE RESIDENTS' SURVEY," falls under the services industry category and took place in the United Kingdom, specifically in the region of Oxfordshire. The procurement stage has reached completion with the contract awarded to Marketing Means, and the contract period spans from 24th June 2025 to 23rd March 2026. The procurement was executed using a limited approach, signifying a below-threshold competition process tailored for targeted bidders.

Businesses specialising in research consultancy, particularly those offering innovative survey methodologies that engage underrepresented demographic groups, would find this type of tender an excellent opportunity for growth. SMEs with capabilities in conducting postal, telephone, or face-to-face surveys stand a good chance of succeeding in such tenders. Participating in these contracts not only provides a steady revenue stream but also enhances the firm's portfolio in handling public sector projects, fostering potential for future opportunities in governmental contracts.

## Notice

Oxfordshire County Council has a long history of carrying out residents' satisfaction surveys using a range of methodologies from face-to-face interview surveys, quarterly telephone surveys, annual postal surveys with an option to complete online, to blended methodologies. As ever, we are seeking recommendations on how to maximise participation in the survey to minimise the need for significant weighting, particularly from more traditionally underrepresented groups.
