Opportunities for public sector data survey - January 2026

How we will use your response 

Your response will help us to make more public sector data responsibly available to innovators, businesses, researchers and public bodies. This includes making existing public sector data easy to reuse and creating or curating new data as needed.  

This is part of our work in the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT). 

The survey should take around 15 minutes, but you can take longer if you like. You can save and continue this survey if you are unable to complete it in one sitting.  

If you respond to this survey, you/your organisation will be able to 'opt in' below to be contacted as part of a more comprehensive market analysis in 2026.  

This survey will close on Friday 28 February 2026  

We will publish an anonymised summary of findings in due course.  

If you want to contact us about completing the survey please email: contact@take-part-in-research.service.gov.uk
