LDA: CompeteFor Impact Evaluation

OMB Research is part of a consortium consisting of The Evaluation Partnership, Aston Business School and Warwick Business School that is undertaking the longitudinal evaluation of the CompeteFor service. CompeteFor is the chosen site of the London 2012 Olympics for the publication of Games-related contract opportunities and acts as a brokerage service between buyers and potential suppliers throughout the London 2012 supply chain.

OMB Research is responsible for conducting 3 annual telephone surveys leading up to the 2012 Olympics, consisting of c.7,000 interviews with businesses that have registered with the CompeteFor service. This is a longitudinal study, and hence an accurate and representative sampling strategy and high response rates are fundamental to its success, in order that the same cohort of firms can be tracked across the 4 year evaluation period.
