## Description

DCMS is looking to select a research partner that will have two main purposes: To monitor the health of the mutuals sector and establish whether the government's interventions are having a positive impact\. This will include the growth in number, size and turnover of public service mutuals\. To gain in-depth qualitative insight, over an extended period of time, of the real challenges and opportunities faced when running a public service mutual\. We hope the combination of quantitative and qualitative insight will help us build the case for the mutual model as a viable way of delivering public services\. It will also help us to make informed policy decisions about how the government should support these organisations in the future\.
