Description

The Innovation Procurement Empowerment Centre (IPEC) team at Connected Places Catapult is looking for a company to conduct research around perceptions of innovation-friendly procurement work.
This will include engaging people in both existing CPC audiences and beyond (focusing on procurement professionals) to test awareness and understanding of:
1. The existence, benefits and development of innovation-friendly procurement work.
2. The impact of Connected Places Catapult in this space; the strength of our profile, and the extent to which this has led to increased understanding, knowledge, and confidence to invest in innovation-friendly procurement.
It is expected that the chosen supplier will gather a mixture of qualitative and quantitative insights, identify and reach representative samples across key stakeholder groups, and implement a robust and innovative research methodology.
While the content of the methodology will be left to the discretion of the supplier, all research tools will need to be developed with appropriate quality assurance to validate their fitness for purpose. For instance, questionnaires, topic and / or interview guides etc will need to be signed off by the Catapult and refined through appropriate cognitive testing and piloting. The selected approaches to the sample design and mode of data collection need to clearly demonstrate how they will mitigate risks to internal and external validity and optimise response rates, representativeness and the ability to make generalisations from the evidence base
