Oscar Research · About Us

Public sector data, research and intelligence built around real client needs

Oscar Research helps organisations understand, reach and work with the UK public sector through maintained data, specialist research, commercial intelligence and flexible delivery.

We combine long-standing public sector knowledge with our own research, structured datasets and increasingly flexible technical delivery — from database access and bespoke research to intelligence feeds and callable data + AI capabilities.

How we work

Research-led data, built to be useful

Oscar has always been more than a list provider. The value comes from the combination of maintained public sector data, specialist research and the ability to shape that information around how a client actually needs to use it.

RESEARCH

Human judgement where context matters

Our research team validates organisations, structures, people and public-sector change, adding context that automated sources alone cannot provide.

DATA

Structured information that can be used operationally

Oscar turns that research into maintained datasets that can support targeting, account planning, analysis, integration and wider intelligence workflows.

FLEXIBILITY

Different clients need different routes

Use Oscar through database subscriptions, reports, feeds, research projects, APIs, integrations or bespoke data + AI capabilities depending on the requirement.
