The project aims to provide insights into firms' engagement in R&D and innovation, with a focus on business performance. The survey is planned to be conducted between October and November 2022, with additional surveys in 2023 and 2024. The project involves a telephone survey of around 2000 employers, allowing for sectoral and regional analysis. The contract period runs from October 10, 2022, to October 9, 2023. This tender opportunity by the University of Warwick offers businesses a chance to provide survey services to assess R&D and innovation activities in UK firms. Companies with expertise in survey design, research and development consultancy, and customer survey services would be well-suited to compete for this tender. The open procedure tender method provides an opportunity for suppliers to bid for the project elements and potentially secure a call-off Agreement for future surveys, creating a potential long-term partnership. ## Notice Innovate UK have commissioned the University of Warwick to undertake a large-scale survey of R&D and innovation activity among UK firms. The aim is to provide a timely and representative picture of how UK employers are currently engaging in R&D and innovation activity and get a better understanding of their future plans. We are also interested in how this is impacting on business performance and other aspects of firms' operations. This project is being funded by Innovate UK who can be named as the sponsor in the survey introduction. The central element of the project will be a telephone (CATI) survey of employers. We are keen to survey a large group of firms (c. 2000) and to be able to consider sectoral and regional contrasts in R&D and innovation. We envisage the survey being conducted over the period October to November 2022. Suppliers are required to tender for all elements of the project and also provide indicative quotes for similar surveys which may be conducted in 2023 and 2024. Survey requirements may expand and evolve over time, so we will be looking to work with the winning supplier to put in place a call-off Agreement for any subsequent follow-on surveys. The call-off Agreement covers items within the scope of this tender and will be provided under the same terms and conditions. The call-off Agreement will run for a period of 1 plus 1 plus 1 years. The additional years will be offered if the chosen supplier is performing successfully, the University of Warwick receives funding for future surveys and the optional pricing is economically advantageous.
