Lot 1: The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) are looking to appoint suppliers to be able to undertake ad-hoc consumer research relating to product safety. This is likely to involve online surveys and focus groups. It is envisaged the framework would be for four years.

The framework will provide OPSS the flexibility to conduct ad-hoc consumer research in response to emerging events and policies.
