The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 30th October 2017. The project aims to analyse free text responses from a national survey focused on LGBT+ experiences, with the contract expected to commence on 20th November 2017 and conclude by 28th February 2018. Interested organisations should note that the procurement method is an open procedure below threshold. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in large-scale text analysis and public consultations. Companies with expertise in research and analytical services, particularly those with a background in social policy or demographic studies, would be well-suited to compete. Furthermore, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, potentially paving the way for organisations looking to grow their footprint in public sector contracts. ## Notice The national LGBT survey (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/national-lgbt-survey) was an online survey hosted on gov.uk that closed on 15th October 2017. It aims to give a broad understanding of LGBT+ people's experiences of accessing and using public services in the UK, as well as any experiences of discrimination they may have faced throughout their lives. In the survey, we asked questions about people's experiences in education and in the workplace, and about their personal safety and access to healthcare. The survey will inform future government activity in this policy area. There was an open free text response option at the end of the survey where respondents could add any comments or reflections that were not captured by the closed questions above The aim of the project is to analyse these free text responses, and report back to the Government Equalities Office by mid-December (interim) and mid-January (final). We require an organisation experienced in completing large-scale text analysis, ideally in the context of public consultations or surveys. The outputs should include summary of the key themes and sentiments emerging from the text, along with a sense of whether and how these vary by sexual orientation, gender identity and other demographic characteristics (e.g. age, region). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9f64268a-955b-4980-b5af-67702b73afeb | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Oct 2017 | | Submission deadline | 30 Oct 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 Nov 2017 - 28 Feb 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | 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 | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 17 Oct 2017 at 13:41 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9f64268a-955b-4980-b5af-67702b73afeb ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9f64268a-955b-4980-b5af-67702b73afeb 17th October 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/417ac913-514b-431d-912e-d3eec2318446 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2378c405-199e-4762-bcfb-71b0c5b98bb4 LGBT National Survey - Free Text Analysis ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/national-lgbt-survey ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
