Notice Information

Notice Title

Survey Tool

Notice Description

Market research solution that combines experience feedback, research methodologies, and analytics in a single platform. In essence this survey tool allows students and staff to undertake surveys for research projects and obtain participant feedback.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (CAHSS) currently uses a market research solution that combines experience feedback, research methodologies, and analytics in a single platform. In essence this survey tool allows students and staff to undertake surveys for research projects and obtain participant feedback.

Procurement Information

The existing licences procured in 2014 are required to be extended for an initial period of 12 months. A change in supplier in a short time period would cause disproportionate technical difficulties in having to retrieve and migrate both live and historic research data held on the system. Furthermore, this would require significant changes to staff and student ways of working and could detrimentally impact a large number of research projects; such a change would require timely consultation and planning. An initial 12 month extension will allow a project to be undertaken to review University wide requirements for such a tool, fully survey the market, help inform the most appropriate route to market at the end of the contract term and determine whether this is a system/tool that will be centrally managed going forward.
