In support of the Scottish Government's 2016-2021 Strategic Research Programme, SRUC Research, in collaboration with the James Hutton Institute, is seeking to procure the services of a professional research company to undertake a telephone survey of a stratified sample of Scottish farmers, crofters and smallholders in 2018. The overall aim of the survey is: "to understand farmer intentions towards future planning with a focus on a number of activities, specifically responses to Brexit, diversification activity and the perceptions of New Entrants into farming". In order to achieve this, it is envisaged that the study will comprise the following: - Administer an opt-out phase comprising a postal letter to 12,000 contacts, with reply paid envelope and adjustments of contact's database for main survey returns. Based on SRUC's previous experience an opt-out of approximately 20% is expected; - It is anticipated that the survey will take no longer than circa five months to complete with delivery time spread over two financial years (2017-18 and 2018-19); - Individual surveys should take no more than 25 minutes to complete. Survey questions will be provided to the supplier, with opportunity to comment, clarification and training of CATI operators. Given the nature of agricultural businesses it is anticipated that weekend and evenings may be the most appropriate times to conduct interviews; - The Supplier must use an approved in-house survey instrument or an on;ine format provided by SRUC (e.g. SNAP, Survey Monkey) for data entry. For in-house instruments output data must be supplied to SRUC in CSV format; - The Supplier must pilot the survey with a sample of 20 farmers and provide written feedback to SRUC on the process; - The Supplier will then contact (via provided contact details with telephone numbers) farmers, crofters and smallholders for a large scale telephone survey based on a sample frame of no more than 12,000 farmers / crofters in Scotland with an expected response of around 2,500 completed questionnaires; - The supplier must be fully compliant with General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).
