Dear all,
I have been asked to bring this email to your attention.
I manage the DWP Research Framework Agreement which is used to commission research services by DWP (and HMRC) analysts. The current Social & Economic Research Framework Agreement comes to an end in June but we are looking to run a competition to re-let the contract to over the coming months. Subject to approval we are planning to issue notifications of the opportunity to potential bidders at the beginning March 2013. We'll be looking to get this opportunity out to as many suppliers using common DWP/Public Sector routes.
As the procurement is of a specialist nature we also intend to ensure that opportunity reaches as many suitable suppliers as possible by utilising relevant trade and professional associations. We currently have several organisations such as the Social Research & Market Research Associations agreeing to circulate information to their members on our behalf.
The OJEU notice has now been published and can be found using the following link.

The Invitation to Tender documents will be available from the DWP e-tendering website on 12th March 2013. Further information and details on how to access the e-tendering website can be found in the OJEU notice and on the following webpage.

Please let me know if you require any further information
Best wishes
