This initiative falls under the research services category, with a focus on gathering insights regarding public awareness and attitudes towards environmental policies in England. The tender is open until 30th October 2018, and the contract period will commence on 19th November 2018 and conclude by 31st March 2019. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing various suppliers to submit their proposals. This tender presents a significant opportunity for market research and survey firms to expand their business operations. Companies that specialise in gathering quantitative data and those with experience in conducting large-scale surveys would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. To effectively respond, businesses should be prepared to work with a diverse demographic and provide innovative methodologies that meet the requirements laid out by Defra, aiming to achieve the necessary sample size for robust data analysis. ## Notice The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) is seeking to commission a survey on attitudes to the environment. This is intended to provide robust insight into the public's awareness, attitudes and behaviours in relation to a number of Defra policy areas, particularly in relation to the implementation of the 25 Year Environment Plan. The survey on attitudes to the environment is intended to support Defra in delivering its objectives by providing insight on key areas to inform, shape and effectively deliver policy. The intention is for the survey to be conducted with people living in England only, amongst a representative sample of adults aged 18 or over. At a minimum, the survey sample will need to be of a sufficient size to allow for analysis of trends in the data from the perspective of: differences between rural and urban population, geographical region, gender, age, ethnicity and income. Initial scoping implies this would require a sample size of between 6,000 and 8,000 respondents to allow the collection of robust data by these subgroups. The anticipated methodology for the survey will be to use a face to face omnibus approach, although tenderers are invited to offer alternate methods which would achieve the same sample size and delivery timescales. Approximately 40 questions are planned to be included in the survey, with a number of additional questions to allow for sub group analysis. All questions that have been scoped are categorical, with a view to collecting only quantitative data. It is anticipated that on sharing the questions with the contractor there will be work to refine and finalise the questions, which would include an appropriate piloting period. The fieldwork is intended to be designed, completed and the results analysed and shared with the Defra project team by the end of March 2019. Following this, there is likely to be a follow up meeting in April 2019 for the contractor to present results and initial analysis of the data. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/50222d65-8071-4b90-b26e-d8b1e0bdcc29 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Oct 2018 | | Submission deadline | 30 Oct 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 19 Nov 2018 - 31 Mar 2019 | | 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 | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3JR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 4 Oct 2018 at 11:08 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/50222d65-8071-4b90-b26e-d8b1e0bdcc29 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/50222d65-8071-4b90-b26e-d8b1e0bdcc29 4th October 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk Link to eSourcing Portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
