Build a clearer picture of the public sector
Understand organisations, people, structures, responsibilities, suppliers, procurement, change and the wider context around a sector, audience or question.
One research-led view of UK public services — built for organisations working with, within and around the public sector.
Oscar brings together maintained data, specialist research, market intelligence, communications and connected delivery so organisations can understand public services, engage relevant audiences and use that intelligence in practical ways.
The network visual represents the way Oscar connects organisations, people, procurement, suppliers, research, communications and delivery.
Oscar Research is a UK public sector intelligence company. We maintain information on public bodies, organisations, postholders and contacts across central government, local government, healthcare, education, housing and wider public services, and combine that foundation with research, procurement, supplier and market intelligence. The same knowledge can support analysis, communications, stakeholder engagement, reporting, data delivery, integrations and automated workflows.
Different organisations come to Oscar for different reasons. The common thread is a need for a clearer, more usable view of UK public services.
Understand organisations, people, structures, responsibilities, suppliers, procurement, change and the wider context around a sector, audience or question.
Find organisations and postholders, understand stakeholder groups and use maintained data, PSN, content and communications to support relevant engagement.
Use Oscar through reports, datasets, feeds, APIs, integrations, internal systems and automated workflows — with delivery shaped around how your organisation works.
Start with the question, audience or workflow you need help with. We can point you to the right service or combine several parts of Oscar around the requirement.
Oscar combines maintained public sector data with research, market context, communications and flexible delivery. Each part can stand alone, but the broader value comes from being able to connect them.

Oscar is not only a source of data. Clients can bring their own customer, prospect or market information to be matched against Oscar's maintained public sector universe.
Use Oscar to assess coverage, improve data quality, enrich records and identify gaps, coverage and areas for further attention across the public sector.
Resolve organisations and records against maintained Oscar identifiers and public sector structures.
Add current organisation, postholder, taxonomy, hierarchy and relevant intelligence fields.
Compare the customers or prospects you already know with the wider addressable public sector market.
Identify missing organisations, sectors, geographies or audiences and use those gaps to inform targeting, research or planning.
The same underlying public sector data can be searched directly, delivered as structured data, connected to your systems or used inside automated and AI-assisted workflows.
Use Oscar databases, PSN and intelligence interfaces directly for research, targeting, market analysis and day-to-day use.
Use scheduled files, spreadsheets, secure feeds, endpoints and APIs to bring Oscar data into your own tools.
