Notice Information

Notice Title

Qualifications review consultation and call for evidence analysis

Notice Description

- Carry out analysis of all the responses to the consultation and the call for evidence. We would like a meeting at the beginning of the contract so that we can provide any helpful background about the policy, and the option of further meetings to discuss draft reports. The analysis should be by topic and pull out any differences by respondent type where appropriate. - Produce a separate interim report for each of the consultation and the call for evidence, focusing on a few priority questions. - Deliver a presentation of the findings once the analysis is completed, but before the reports are finalised. - Produce two full final reports (one for the call for evidence and one for the consultation) for internal use, which will inform the government response to the consultation exercises and policy development. To ensure quality of the reports, we require up to two drafts of each report before the final version, to be commented on by our team. We would like the reports to identify the key themes and findings for each question, identifying where a trend varies by respondent type, or has been given disproportionate weight due to a campaign (where organisation(s) submit duplicate responses). - Produce summary reports for each of the call for evidence and consultation, containing the overall key findings, which we could publish alongside the government response on gov.uk if we deem appropriate.
