This project falls under the category of research and development consultancy services and is located in England. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the tender period concluded on 15th November 2018. The contract, valued at £70,000, commenced on 31st December 2018 and will extend until 31st July 2019. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for consultancies specialised in research and development, particularly those experienced in educational assessments and longitudinal studies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the project aims to explore innovative methodologies and options that will effectively address the needs of the Department for Education. Businesses with expertise in data analysis, survey methodologies, and educational environments would be particularly well-suited to compete in this procurement process. ## Notice We require a feasibility study to assess the viability of such a longitudinal study and explore the methodological and other issues that will ensure it most effectively meets the Department's evidence requirements. The purpose of the feasibility study is to provide independent exploration and appraisal of the design and delivery options for a longitudinal teacher survey. It should: * Assess the merits of the case for a longitudinal teacher survey * Assess the viability of a longitudinal survey, given our requirements and the challenges ahead (e.g. sampling, response rate and retention, especially for leavers / returners) * Explore potential design and delivery options, and appraise how well options meet our needs, including cost considerations * Provide a reasoned, on-balance, set of options and recommendations to inform decisions for a prospective longitudinal survey * Provide recommendations to ensure effective practice and risk management is embedded in the planning, specification and management of the survey (should it go ahead) Proposed methodology should be guided by the objectives and detailed questions above. Further detail on requirements and suggested methods will be provided in the ITT for shortlisted bidders. However, we envisage the feasibility requiring detailed interrogation of DfE and other relevant datasets, review of relevant methodological and teacher workforce literature and consultations with DfE officials and experts in the sector. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe064acc-4c1a-4a22-ab5c-32824be1ae8c | | 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 | 15 Nov 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 18 Dec 2018 | | Contract period | 20 Mar 2019 - 31 Jan 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £70,000 | | 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 2FJ | | 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 | KANTAR PUBLIC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services ## Release History - 2 May 2019 at 09:17 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe064acc-4c1a-4a22-ab5c-32824be1ae8c - 15 Apr 2019 at 14:01 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe064acc-4c1a-4a22-ab5c-32824be1ae8c - 31 Oct 2018 at 15:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fc81fbc3-10ea-4333-a0ce-21b1d8420073 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe064acc-4c1a-4a22-ab5c-32824be1ae8c 2nd May 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fc81fbc3-10ea-4333-a0ce-21b1d8420073 31st October 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7490f645-99bd-4adb-9959-ec6e085fa063 Expression of Interest Advert - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/06df3b1f-36a1-4d69-99c4-3003a590710d Expression of Interest Template - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7d96b9ad-aa69-46f6-857a-0995f6394bff Redacted Contract ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
