Services
Our Subscription and Bespoke research services help you create a compelling sales strategy with competitive edge.
With our unique forward-looking approach to Council procurement, you keep ahead of the competition. Our Local Authority market insight, underpinned by over 10 years of successful data analysis and professional judgement, gives our private sector subscribers the answers to their most important and relevant questions, such as:
- Which competitors already have a relationship with the target Council?
- What is that Council’s attitude to engaging the private sector?
- How much money has the Council paid for similar services in the past?
- Who are the key influencers and main contacts, especially for specific projects?

Bespoke Research Services
Sometimes companies want us to provide Local Authority market intelligence for their eyes only and Porge is regularly commissioned to research a specific topic and produce a bespoke report.
Examples of our research and reports into niche areas:
- Identifying target Councils for input into sales strategies and plans
- Analysing in detail a specific Council to support their decision to bid (or no-bid) an expensive tender
- Undertaking Freedom of Information enquiries
- Creating Market Landscape Reports
This is only a brief summary of our Bespoke Service. To discuss a specific topic and your requirements in more detail, please contact us to arrange a meeting.
Porge provides detailed analysis on all Local Authorities in England and Scotland. Wales will be added to the Service in 2012.
