Details
Ofcom is undertaking this market engagement to gather general feedback to inform and help us finalise our procurement strategy and tender documentation. A formal procurement procedure is expected to follow this market engagement exercise but please note that undertaking this market engagement exercise does not commit Ofcom to any course of action, including undertaking a subsequent procurement process. This is an information gathering exercise only. Prospective suppliers are not being assessed at this stage and taking part is not a necessary pre-condition to being part of the tender. Some more information about what Ofcom needs: The study needs to contain information on what 8-17 year olds are doing online. This is an extension beyond our current study which only goes up to the age of 14. Ideally we’d like to be able to answer questions about children’s online usage levels and refer to fairly recent usage at any time during the year, so this may mean continuous monitoring or at least a multi-wave approach during the year. The data must be able to be used for enforcement and regulation activities. Our main aim is to ensure that our thinking about the objectives and structure of the study match market capability both in terms of new possibilities and also limitations. We anticipate a budget range to be between £1m - £1.5m. These figures are for the potential 4 year contract term.

Before you bid on this tender
A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission. Always verify the details on the official source.
- Confirm the closing date and submission window on the official portal before you start preparing your bid.
- Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
- Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
- Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
