This initiative involves conducting a telephone survey of residents in Southampton to assess their usage of the Solent coastline, New Forest, and local greenspaces. The engagement end date is scheduled for 23rd February 2018. The procurement process falls under the category of research services, specifically market research services and customer survey services. Interested parties can access additional tender information through the Supply Southampton e-Sourcing Portal. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in research and survey services. Companies with expertise in quantitative market research, particularly those experienced in conducting telephone surveys and analysis, will find this procurement fitting. As the Council seeks to refine their survey approach and determine the optimal number of necessary surveys, organisations that can demonstrate innovative methodologies and provide cost-effective solutions may benefit significantly from participating in the tender process. ## Notice Southampton City Councils Planning Policy Team would like to undertake quantitative market research in the form of a telephone survey of residents living in the city centre to establish whether, and in what numbers, they visit the Solent coastline, the New Forest and local greenspaces. Looking at other similar surveys The Planning Policy Team have identified 60 different potential questions however suspect that this number of questions is likely to be excessive and are unsure of the optimum number. It is also unclear the number of surveys that will be required in order to secure a statistically significant sample and the costs of undertaking this number of surveys. To gain an understanding of the market place an RFI is being undertaken. Additional information: Applicants will be required to respond to the RFI via "Supply Southampton" website which can be accessed via, https://supplysouthampton.esourcingportal.com/ where you can register your details and access information. All questions must be completed and submitted by no later than the time/date indicated. The Council undertakes to use reasonable endeavours to hold confidential any information provided in the proposal submitted, subject to the Council's obligations under law, including the Freedom of Information Act 2000. If the applicant considers that any of the information submitted in the proposal should not be disclosed because of its sensitivity then this should be stated with the reason for considering it sensitive. The Council will then consider the sensitivity statement before replying to any request received under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Any enquiries regarding the tender process must be directed through the Curtis Fitch Messaging System. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8d1c5d01-9ab5-4e8e-b099-4342f028e1a2 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Mar 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOUTHAMPTON CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | SOUTHAMPTON | | Post town | Southampton | | Postcode | SO14 7FP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ32 Southampton | | Local authority | Southampton | | Electoral ward | Bargate | | Westminster constituency | Southampton Itchen | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services - 79310000 - Market research services - 79342310 - Customer survey services ## Release History - 2 Mar 2017 at 11:50 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8d1c5d01-9ab5-4e8e-b099-4342f028e1a2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8d1c5d01-9ab5-4e8e-b099-4342f028e1a2 2nd March 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://supplysouthampton.esourcingportal.com E-Sourcing Portal ## Notice URLs - https://supplysouthampton.esourcingportal.com/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
