Notice Description

Historic England is seeking an organisation to implement surveys for users and non-users of differing historic venues, and their modern counterparts, as part of a Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) conducted by Historic England.

The aim of the study is to understand and quantify public's perceptions towards these historic assets. The budget allocated for this tender is PS50,000 (inclusive of VAT), to receive approximately 8,000 respondents across multiple surveys.
