What is being bought

Published requirement description

Building on research and reports already produced (see links in the ITT) on perceptions of the UK, the UK’s influence and trends in soft power internationally, the British Council wishes to commission a survey of young people in the G20, plus a limited number of additional priority countries/territories, to explore how the UK is perceived compared with other G20 economies. The British Council wishes to build up new data, comparative data and tracking data on different aspects of the UK’s standing in the world to inform its own strategy and programme development, and for engagement with stakeholders.
