IQA has more than 25 years experience in IT based ‘best value’ analysis within the public sector and, in particular, within the leisure and Physical activity fields.

Since 1997, through its IT development arm, IQ Software Systems (IQSS), it has been the architect of the APSE Performance Networks database. The database remains the biggest public sector benchmarking system in the UK and has been used by more than 300 UK local authorities as a vital performance management tool.

IQA consultants have been at the fore of the design and management of the Performance Networks database to support its development to enable it to meet the changing needs of local government across Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland.

IQA is a member of the Market Research Society, the UK’s research regulatory body, and has designed and implemented numerous health & wellbeing, leisure & recreation, tourism and other public service research projects within the public and private sectors.

As a major stakeholder in Redbrook Garve Limited, IQA is now leading the development of research and reporting techniques for all “Interactive Teaching Assessment” (ITA) ™ modules.
