Notice Title

DHSC: ASC: Waves 3 - 5 of the Adult Social Care Workforce Employee Survey

Notice Description

Provision of designing, delivering, and analysing three further waves (waves 3 to 5) of the Adult Social Care Workforce Survey.

Lot Information

Lot 1

DHSC are seeking to procure a contractor for waves 3-5 of the Adult Social Care Workforce Survey, to take place in (calendar years) 2026, 2027 and 2028. These waves will continue to gather vital perspectives from a fragmented workforce, generating nationally representative, worker-level findings not captured in other existing datasets. The surveys are expected to cover wellbeing, work-related quality of life, intention to leave, learning and development, bullying, violence and harassment, as well as potentially incorporating new questions based on Government priorities. The data will inform a range of current and future policy areas, strengthening the evidence base for reform, improving understanding of workforce pressures, and supporting the Government's wider ambition of building towards a National Care Service. Waves 3-5 will also build on the first two waves to develop a time series, which will help the sector and Government to understand changes in workforce experience over time, and evaluate the impact of interventions or events that may affect this.

Procurement Information

The procedure used was CCS DPS Further Competition and it did not require a prior FTS.
