Oscar Research · Bespoke Reports & Intelligence

Bespoke public sector intelligence built around the question you need answered

Bring us the market, buyer, competitor, policy or growth question you are trying to understand. Oscar can combine its own researched public sector data with contracts, spend, suppliers, open sources and additional research to build the evidence around it.

The result does not have to be a static report. Depending on how your team needs to use the intelligence, the same project can be delivered as a written report, board briefing, spreadsheet, recurring intelligence pack, dashboard, data feed or reporting interface.

What are Oscar bespoke reports?

They are tailored public sector intelligence projects built around a specific question, market or decision. Oscar brings together the relevant data, research and context, analyses what it means, and then delivers the resulting intelligence in the format most useful to the client.

What the project can answer

From a strategic question to a usable view of the market

The value is not simply a document. It is the ability to combine Oscar's data assets, research capability and technical platform around a problem that cannot be answered from a generic dashboard or static list.

MARKET & OPPORTUNITY

How large is the market, and where should we focus?

Size an addressable market, segment buyers, compare sectors or geographies, understand demand and identify where budget, procurement or commercial activity is concentrated.

ACCOUNT & BUYER STRATEGY

Which organisations, people or buyer groups matter most?

Prioritise organisations using the criteria relevant to your offer, map decision-makers and structures, and build a clearer account-planning view of the market.

COMPETITOR & MARKET POSITION

Where are competitors stronger, weaker or gaining ground?

Compare supplier presence, buyer overlap, award history, spend relationships, framework activity and market concentration to understand relative position and movement.

Built around your question

Scope, evidence and outputs are shaped around the problem you need to solve, rather than a fixed report template.

Powered by Oscar data

Projects can combine organisation, postholder, contract, spend, supplier and market information with additional research.

Analysis where it adds value

Oscar can interpret patterns, comparisons and market context rather than simply handing over disconnected records.

Delivered in the right form

The result can be concise for leadership, detailed for working teams or structured for ongoing use in your systems.

How the intelligence can be delivered

One project, different ways to use the result

The delivery format follows the use case. A report may be exactly what is needed — or the intelligence may be more valuable as a recurring dataset, dashboard or reporting tool.

REPORT & ANALYSIS

Written reports and board-ready briefings

One-off or recurring analysis combining data, charts, comparisons, commentary and conclusions for strategy, sales, research or leadership teams.

LIVE & RECURRING INTELLIGENCE

Datasets, feeds and recurring reporting

Structured Excel, CSV, database-ready outputs or recurring intelligence packs where the underlying evidence needs to be refreshed over time.

INTERACTIVE INTELLIGENCE

Dashboards and reporting interfaces

Searchable, filterable front-end tools or API-backed reporting layers where teams need to explore the evidence rather than receive a one-off static output.

Example report themes

What could Oscar investigate for you?

These are examples rather than fixed products. Each can be configured around your own sector, geography, buyer group, competitor set, policy area or commercial objective.

POLITICAL & LOCAL GOVERNMENT INTELLIGENCE

How is structural or political change affecting the market?

Political control, election cycles, leadership changes, council structure, decision-making context and local authority market segmentation.

PUBLIC BODY & ORGANISATION MAPPING

Which organisations actually make up the market?

Target organisation lists, sector structures, parent bodies, geographies, organisation types, size indicators, public body changes and account-planning datasets.

COMPETITOR LANDSCAPE

Where are competitors winning, and with whom?

Competitor presence, buyer overlap, award histories, framework activity, market concentration and changes in supplier momentum.

CONTRACT & PROCUREMENT ANALYSIS

What does procurement activity tell us about demand?

Tender and award analysis by buyer, supplier, sector, geography, category, value band, framework route and contract timing.

SPEND & BUYER BEHAVIOUR

Where are the strongest supplier and buyer relationships?

Public sector spend analysis, supplier spend, category trends, recurring relationships, high-value buyers and opportunity indicators.

MARKET ENTRY & GROWTH PLANNING

Where should we focus to enter or grow?

Priority account lists, addressable market analysis, competitor benchmarks, buyer segmentation and data-led sales or marketing planning.

How a project works

02Build the evidenceCombine Oscar data, research, public sources, contracts, spend, supplier information and any client-specific inputs required.
03Shape the intelligenceAnalyse, segment, rank, visualise or interpret the evidence according to the question and the people who need to use it.
04Deliver it your wayProvide the result as a report, spreadsheet, recurring pack, feed, dashboard, interface or API-backed intelligence layer.

The services overlap — the best starting point depends on the problem

Reports is the natural starting point when you need Oscar to help frame, investigate and explain a question. If your requirement is more specific, another Oscar service may be the better route — or it may form part of the same project.
