Behavioural, Insight and Research Customer Lab Specialist Support

HMRC has a long-standing commitment to ensuring its operations and policy decisions are informed by high quality, timely research. This research is largely delivered through external contractors who deliver larger-scale, independent research.

HMRC has already launched its Customer Lab in Shipley, near Leeds. A second Lab is likely to open in London in the Spring of 2018. The Labs are considered to be in line with industry best practice - both include space for the delivery of a range of different qualitative research methods, both also include viewing facilities, video-relay equipment and allow for visual and audio recording for the rapid generation of data for analysis.

Some staff have experience in fieldwork delivery gathered largely from prior experience working in research agencies, but for most this is fairly outdated. We are therefore in need of some specialist support from a highly experienced qualitative researcher to build our capability in primary fieldwork delivery.

The key deliverables required include:

The overall value of the framework is £15k, and the intention is to run the Framework for 15 weeks with an option to extend further
