This project falls under the category of research and development services and related consultancy services, with a total budget of £90,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, following a completed tender phase where bids were invited up to the deadline of 6th March 2018. The contract period is set to commence on 6th April 2018 and will last until 31st March 2019. Responses to the tender were expected from a range of UK locations, including England and other regions. This contracting opportunity presents significant prospects for businesses, particularly those specialising in research methodologies, data collection, and analysis within academic contexts. Organisations with experience in conducting surveys and working with higher education institutions are ideally suited to compete for this contract. The scope of the project offers a chance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in impactful research that could influence workforce planning in the higher education sector. ## Notice Expressions of interest are sought to understand more fully the population of EU staff working in publicly funded higher education (HE) providers in the UK, as well as provider resilience and workforce planning. This will involve primary research through a survey of HE providers and the academic and non-academic staff they employ, as well as secondary analysis of data from the HESA staff record. The aims of the project are to build a profile of the population of EU domiciled staff working in HE providers, and to understand provider workforce plans, and the contingencies or risk management processes they have in place. Please note that the research design may need to flexibly respond to new developments. Analysis of secondary data This part of the research will analyse HESA staff data to explore research questions and to design the sample specification and weights for the survey. Survey of HE providers This part of the research will then survey senior figures working in HR, recruitment or a related area at a sample of the 167 publicly funded UK HE providers. Survey of EU staff This part of the research will comprise an online survey of staff working in UK HE providers using telephone interviews to follow up on any persistent non-response and to ensure that the minimum sample sizes are achieved. We envisage that EU staff will be sampled through co-operation with providers. Report write-up All analysis and discussion should be written up into the format of a DfE Research Report. Please note that at this stage, bidders are only required to submit an Expression of Interest rather than a full bid. Please see the relevant document for more information. Additional information: The deadline for EOIs is 6pm Tuesday 6th March 2018 Expressions of interests submitted must be no more than 1,000 words excluding references - anything longer will be disregarded. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e75f121-9f09-45fd-bade-c688263fa9b1 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 May 2019 | | Submission deadline | 6 Mar 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 16 Jun 2018 | | Contract period | 17 Jun 2018 - 30 Apr 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £90,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £94,768 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 2JF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | THE INSTITUTE FOR EMPLOYMENT STUDIES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 2 May 2019 at 09:19 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e75f121-9f09-45fd-bade-c688263fa9b1 - 12 Apr 2019 at 14:32 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e75f121-9f09-45fd-bade-c688263fa9b1 - 20 Feb 2018 at 13:54 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e657cdc1-57b9-4ed8-8a3b-34cebd558e1b - 20 Feb 2018 at 11:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e657cdc1-57b9-4ed8-8a3b-34cebd558e1b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e75f121-9f09-45fd-bade-c688263fa9b1 2nd May 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e657cdc1-57b9-4ed8-8a3b-34cebd558e1b 20th February 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7539c5a2-2f3c-4c3e-8ac7-9fe6991449a8 EOI Advert - DFERPPU 2017/048 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2a0c637b-4efa-47de-b13d-ada49dc6a93d New EOI Form - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5ee7e560-f1ba-4033-bba7-87ec0c3ab95c Redacted Contract ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
