Overview
Our social research aims to provide high-quality evidence to inform policy development and
delivery.
Building evidence into our services is crucial to improving the education and children’s services
we provide. We have published a collection of papers that set out research priorities and
questions across education and children’s services for the research community, sector and
department. We hope these papers will encourage researchers, sector organisations and
practitioners to discuss research needs and contribute to the development of our policy and
practice.
More information on how we are building evidence into education and children’s services is
available from our ‘research priorities for education and children’s services’ collection.
Publications
You can find our research reports published since May 2010 in GOV.UK’s publications section.
Archived publications
Our archived research, published before May 2010, is available from the National Archives
website.
Current research
You can find a list of our current research contracts on Contracts Finder.
Invitations to tender for new projects
You must submit an expression of interest (EOI) for us to consider you for an invitation to
tender. Please use the expression of interest form (ODT, 29.7KB) .
To express an interest you must first register with us and will need your ID number.
To register, please complete the supplier registration form.
We let all contracts on the basis of our terms and conditions. We encourage you to read the EOI
guide before submitting your EOI. There is also a style guide and template for contractors
writing research publications.
Submission of an EOI does not guarantee an invitation to tender, and we do not routinely advise
organisations that they have not been successful. However, we will provide feedback if you
request it.
Calls for expressions of interest
We will list calls for expressions of interest here when they are available.
EOI ID number and general enquiries
If you have a query about your EOI ID number, please email us at: [email protected].
For all other enquiries about our research, please contact us.
