This procurement, classified under research and development services, aims to design and deliver the first panel of the Education and Outcomes Panel Study (EOPS). The tender is currently at the planning stage, with expressions of interest sought for this standalone project that intends to collect data from approximately 8,500 parents of children aged 9 months to 5/6 years. Interested parties must submit their expressions of interest by 11.59 pm on 7th August 2020, with the contract commencing from 27th November 2020 and extending until 31st December 2025, primarily based in the North West and Yorkshire and the Humber regions of the UK. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in research, surveying, or data collection, particularly those with experience in longitudinal studies or educational research. Suppliers keen to partner with the Department for Education should possess the capacity to undertake extensive fieldwork, including face-to-face interviews, phone, and web surveys. Given the size and duration of the project, companies of various scales can consider collaborating or proposing joint ventures to enhance their chances of success in this competitive procurement process. ## Notice Expressions of interest are sought to undertake the design and delivery of the first panel of a new longitudinal study, the Education and Outcomes Panel Study (EOPS). The EOI is specifically to invite expressions of interest for EOPS - A (Children of the 2020's), the first panel which will collect data from parents of children who are age approximately 9 months and follow them until ages 5/6 i.e. the earliest years through to primary school. Whilst there will be synergies between the various panel of EOPS, Children of the 2020's is a stand-alone project. The key objectives of the Children of the 2020's study will be to provide evidence for policy areas relating to; babies and infants, early childhood education and care, primary school and disadvantage. The study will utilise a random probability sampling approach with a first wave sample of approximately 8500. It is envisaged that the first wave and at least one subsequent wave will be wholly face to face with the remaining waves a mixture of face to face, phone and web survey. Project design and set up will commence from late November with piloting in April and mainstage fieldwork planned for June - October 2021, subject to agreed design and approach with the appointed contractor. Further details can be found on the attached EOI advert.
