Summary

Machine-generated summary

Ofcom is carrying out market engagement to gather feedback that will help finalise its procurement strategy and tender documentation for a study measuring the passive online behaviour of children aged 8 to 17. The study should capture children's online usage levels, extend beyond the current study that only covers ages up to 14, and use continuous monitoring or a multi-wave approach during the year to reflect recent usage. Data must be usable for enforcement and regulation activities. This is an information gathering exercise only; prospective suppliers are not being assessed and participation is not a precondition for any future tender. The anticipated budget range is GBP 1m to GBP 1.5m for a potential 4 year contract term.

Description

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.
