Social research is carried out so that we can learn about people and society. By understanding the nature of human society, we can use this knowledge to develop products/services to better suit the public. Improving our understanding of health and wellbeing, as well as many other factors like leadership, psychology, and sociology etc.
When conducting social research, researchers will look at human behaviour, socio-economic groups, location, and trigger topics.

When looking to source social research tenders, you need to understand which type of social research the buyer is requiring. What information are they trying to gather? And how can you help?
Here are the five most common types of social research tenders:
