This procurement falls under the research and development services category, with opportunities covering various geographical locations including the United Kingdom and beyond. Currently in the tender stage, submissions are due by 21st April 2017. The anticipated contract period is set to commence on 10th July 2017 and will extend until 28th December 2018. A selective procurement method is being utilised for this initiative, which will require a robust methodological approach from bidders. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in conducting large-scale surveys. Companies that can demonstrate a proven ability to achieve high response rates and offer good value for money will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as they are deemed suitable for this project, potentially leading to valuable partnerships and business growth within the education sector. ## Notice Expressions of interest are sought to deliver a bi-annual omnibus survey of pupils and their parents/carers for the Department of Education. The survey sample will need to cover pupils in school years 7-13 and their parents/ carers. We will require a nationally representative sample, of sufficient size to allow sub-group analysis. Bidders are encouraged to propose their own method for conducting the surveys based on their proven expertise on what would be most effective at achieving good response rates, accuracy, and good value for money. The questions asked in each phase of data collection will vary according to the Department's research interests. These will include a mix of new questions, and previously asked questions being repeated to enable time-series analysis. It is anticipated that the first wave of fieldwork would take place in November 2017 and the second in May 2018. The Department will publish the results as official statistics.
