Information Research Case Study

Case Study: Information Research

Ahead of submitting a bid to win a Government-funded contract to deliver a new service, Company A wished to better understand the economic characteristics of the population in the new geographical areas covered by the proposed contract.

Office for National Statistics (ONS) data were used to compile the general economic status of resident groups in those areas, eg numbers employed/ unemployed, numbers self-employed, etc.

This research enabled the company to more accurately calculate delivery volumes by location and offer more tailored services to match the intended service beneficiaries.

GIS mapping in the form of heat maps overlain onto a Google street map enabled the company to visualise population densities of the different beneficiary groups in relation to the specific bespoke service delivery locations, local authority boundaries and rural/ urban classifications.

Other desk research provided additional more localised information key to the delivery locations and needs of potential clients (eg public transport networks). This gave the company a better picture of where drop-in centres and service outlets could best be located.

“Hayley and her colleague Shane recently completed an extremely comprehensive evaluation (summative assessment) of the project I had been managing. The evaluation not only looked at the economic impact of the programme but also the social impacts both on the individuals and more widely. It was a complex piece of work, with numerous partners, stakeholders and thousands of clients. I found them both to be excellent communicators, providing me with clear information and managing our expectations well, they were also extremely thorough. I feel they went above and beyond. I would definitely work with Hayley again and recommend her to others should they be requiring services in this area.”

“Hayley was an absolute professional and it really helped that she took the time to look into the exam format and recounts l technical words - something other candidates take for granted after having done practice exams. She writes fast, clearly and accurately and managed to keep up with me for 4 hours. Finding a scribe is very hard and Hayley was up for the challenge. Thank you again.”
