Market Survey
DAS was created to help solve the strategic challenges facing government and industry decision makers. Our multi-disciplinary team of leading experts has been able to produce novel, innovative solutions for our clients across diverse sectors.
Market Survey is a term used to describe the company’s capability to support clients in the conduct of market surveys for specific equipment requirements and market sector analysis as part of larger market survey activities.
DAS staff together with specialist associates utilise their engineering and business management skills to conduct market surveys and to inform client decision making. DAS personnel have considerable experience of analysing trends in government expenditure which can be deployed in support of market survey activities. DAS is also able to provide analysis of manpower availability and alternative site locations (for office or factory units) in order to support investment decisions.
The exact scope of work for any Market Survey task will be defined by the specific requirements of the client. The exact timing of the work and any necessity for up-dates to the survey will be driven by the need to reduce risk throughout the acquisition or project life cycle.
Market Survey tasks can include the following activities:
- Preparation of Requirements – DAS can produce or support the preparation of the requirement to support the Market Survey task.
- Identification of Potential Suppliers – through our extensive knowledge of different sectors DAS personnel are able to identify potential suppliers. We are also able to identify off-the-shelf solutions that could be candidates to meet the project requirements?
- Preparation of Survey Questionnaires – DAS can prepare questionnaires as required to
enable potential suppliers to be identified and short listed.
- Conduct of Supplier Interviews – with the list of preferred suppliers DAS personnel can conduct screening interviews or support clients conducting interviews.
