The deadline for bid submissions was 30th September 2019, with the contract period set to commence from 17th October 2019 and conclude on 31st March 2020. The procurement is being carried out through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and includes evaluation criteria as per the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those engaged in market and economic research, polling, and statistics. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate expertise in understanding business regulatory burdens and perceptions will be especially well-suited to compete. Successful bidders will have the chance to contribute to government assessments that may influence policy, potentially driving innovation and growth in their sector. ## Notice The final date and time for the submission of bids is Monday, 30th September 2019 at 14:00 DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the CCS eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement The objective of the BPS is to determine businesses' views on the extent of the burden of regulation, and whether their perception of the burden has changed, since the previous survey was undertaken (as also the surveys over the last few years). This includes assessing business perceptions on how regulation is enforced and delivered in practice. Where possible we are keen to determine whether any improvement in the perception of the burden is potentially down to changes in Government policy and/or whether regulation is also perceived to be impacting on innovation and growth. Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement. All attachments can be found with the RFx attachments tab within the Emptoris System. This contract will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria set out in the MC document.
