Invitations to tender for upcoming research - Information
Commissioner's Office (ICO)
An analysis of developments since the Surveillance Society report
produced by the Surveillance Studies Network for the ICO
The ICO is inviting bids to research and produce an analysis of
developments in surveillance and data collection since the report “A
Surveillance Society”, which was produced for the ICO in 2006.
The objective is to produce a study that will accompany the
Information Commissioner’s report to Parliament on surveillance. The
study will effectively be a factual analysis that will build upon the
2006 Surveillance Studies Network report, concentrating on developments
in surveillance and data collection that have taken place since its
publication. The study should take account of the developments in
technology, policy, law and practice but should be focussed on the
practical consequences of these developments for individuals and
society now and in the immediate future. The focus should be more on
the surveillance that individuals face as they live their everyday
lives rather than the specific covert surveillance activities.
Full details of the research project and how to submit a proposal are
set out in the project tendering brief, together with the ICO’s
standard form of research project contract.
