## Summary

The Department for Education is currently involved in a public procurement process for a tender titled "Survey of Higher Education (HE) Providers and student unions: Measurement needs for a student mental health survey." This initiative falls under the category of research and development services, specifically focusing on the needs for a comprehensive survey aimed at assessing student mental health. The contract is valued at £49,818 and is based in London, England. The procurement method used is an open procedure, which allows for broad participation, and the deadline for expressions of interest was set for 11.59pm on 16 January 2019. The contract period commenced on 5 February 2019 and is scheduled to conclude on 31 May 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in research, mental health services, and consultancy. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement is designed to be inclusive of diverse suppliers. The ability to conduct both quantitative and qualitative research will be crucial, making this tender especially suitable for businesses that can offer innovative approaches to student health surveys and are versed in academic or educational research methodologies.

## Notice

Expressions of interest are sought for a research study with HE providers and student unions. The primary purpose of this research is to inform the development of a representative student survey on mental health. We believe a quantitative survey with some qualitative sections would be the most effective methodology but welcome contractors' views on the quantitative/qualitative balance. Please note: Deadline for Expressions of Interest is 11.59pm Wednesday 16th Jan 2019
