CIoS Growth Hub and Skills Hub requires a contractor to conduct, evaluate and report primary research as required over the remaining lifetime of the project, and any subsequent extension or recommissioning.On behalf of the CIoS Growth Hub and Skills Hub, CDC wishes to appoint a research agency over the course of both projects to provide research services under a 'call-down' contract.
