The brief

We are seeking an analysis of optical businesses to inform our work on possible reform of the Opticians Act 1989.

This will involve designing and conducting the research, analysing the findings, and producing a report.

The aim of the research is to: build a picture of the size and characteristics of UK optical businesses; assess the benefits and risks these businesses present; and estimate costs of different options for extending business regulation. https://optical.org/en/publications/invitation-to-tender-mapping-optical-businesses/
