## Description

This procurement is for tracking research into domestic consumers' energy market experiences and behaviours\. Recent rises in energy prices and the subsequent failure of a number of energy suppliers has prompted a significant change in the energy market\.

Ofgem requires an independent quantitative research agency with substantial experience of delivering quantitative research surveys\. The supplier will be asked to: \* Source research participants for each wave \* Design the questionnaire \(drawing on past surveys and Ofgem run qualitative research outputs\) \* Programme and implement the surveys for each wave \* Conduct high quality data analysis to interpret findings from each wave \* Deliver high quality publishable research outputs that will be an asset to Ofgem\.
