(VEAT Notice) Gaelic Research Services

Source:	Find a Tender Service (FTS)
Notice Type:	Award notice
Buyer:	Seirbheis nam Meadhanan Gàidhlig (The Gaelic Media Service)
Main Category:	Services
Procurement Method:	Negotiated without publication of a contract notice
Method Rationale:	MG ALBA previously issued a below threshold call for competition to provide Gaelic Research Services but did not receive any suitable responses. MG ALBA considers that the negotiated procedure without prior publication can be used when for technical reasons, or for the protection of exclusive rights, the contract can be awarded to a particular economic operator (TRP). Given the limited number of Gaelic speakers, obtaining a sufficient number of persons in order to provide a panel can be difficult. TRP already has a panel and has a unique understanding of the operational characteristics and support requirements of said panel (and exclusive access to the panel). We are not aware of any other contractor who holds such a panel and did not receive any suitable responses to a previous tender as mentioned above. TRP is therefore the only viable contractor to provide the panel and the Gaelic Research Services.

Description

MG ALBA are putting out this voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice with a view to completing a Direct Award to TRP Research Ltd (TRP) for the supply of Gaelic Research Services. MG ALBA previously sought applications from service providers (but received no suitable responses) in order to recruit, operate and maintain a Gaelic Audience Panel (“the panel”) primarily aimed at measuring viewership of BBC ALBA video content on linear television and non-linear (iPlayer, online and social media) platforms and on how consumption of SpeakGaelic and LearnGaelic video content on non-linear platforms intersects with BBC ALBA viewership. The panel must have active members who complete a weekly diary recording their media consumption and qualitative assessment of content consumed during the specified week. Reporting of the survey results to MG ALBA will be on a weekly basis. The contract is expected to commence October/November 2023 for three years with an option to extend for one year (at the discretion of MG ALBA and with the agreement of both parties).
