PS21086 - UK Research and Development (R&D) Workforce Survey 2021/22

***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION *****

This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under the CCS DPS Agreement (RM6018).

This dataset will help to inform a wide range of R&D policy decisions including how to meet the 2.4% R&D target and how to increase business innovation. Currently, the available workforce data is partial and focuses on university and UKRI researchers only, with missing data on industry, third sector and government researchers as well as non-researcher R&D roles (e.g. research managers). This survey will cover all R&D sectors and funders. This will be the first survey to get comparable data from researchers, technicians, R&D managers and engineers who are not researchers but whose roles are essential for R&D and new-to-market and new-to-firm innovation.
