Notice Description

**THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION** This award was made under Crown Commercial Services Research Marketplace Dynamic Purchasing System RM6018 Research outputs Please cost and provide full details as to your approach (with details of relevant experience) for producing the following: 4.1 Dataset A fully labelled, clean data set in SPSS format is required to allow us to carry out further analysis should we need to. This should be provided alongside some top line findings prior to the final report. 4.2 Report The final output required is a report comprising a commentary of the results, with a short executive summary bulleting the headline findings and a technical annex to allow the research to be replicated. The analysis should be presented as a series of tables showing frequencies and percentages for each question, and some key breaks and cross tabs where appropriate. It is important that the report follows the Acas style guidance for research publications found in Annex A. It is also important that any visualisations follow the Office for National Statistics guidelines which can be found here. Any submissions that do not take this guidance into account will not be considered. For any questions that were used in the last evaluation as a baseline upon which to build future evaluations, the report should make comparisons and reference the equivalent figure for the last evaluation. The report will be used both internally and externally and needs to be written and presented as such, in similar style to the report from the 2018 evaluation, only where the aforementioned style guidance allows. 4.3 Presentation of findings This will need to cover the main points covered in the final report in presentation format. A slide deck in Microsoft PowerPoint may be the most appropriate format, although we are open to suggestions should contractors have other more suitable mediums to use. This is likely to be held in Summer 2021.
