This opportunity falls under the category of Research and Development services, located in England. The tender is currently active and is in the open procurement stage, with a deadline for Expressions of Interest (EOIs) set for 23:59 on 5th March 2020. The contract period is scheduled to commence from 27th March 2020 and conclude on 24th June 2020, with a budget of £20,400. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in research and consultancy, particularly those with a focus on educational environments and student engagement. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete for this contract, as the project requires innovative approaches to gathering data from secondary students regarding their use of school grounds. Companies skilled in participatory research methods or familiar with educational settings may find this particularly advantageous for growth and collaboration in the public sector. ## Notice Expressions of Interest are sought; We are looking for a contractor to identify the most appropriate and efficient means of collecting views from secondary school pupils on how school external ground space is used and valued. The sort of places in scope would likely include: spaces for informal play, socialising, break time, eating areas, hard play, grassed/ landscaped/ wooded/ habitat areas, outside furniture/ equipment. It could include pitches and Multi-Use Games Areas but the focus should be on the range of spaces used by the diverse interests of pupils (also considering gender, faith and abilities) not only areas used for sports. Any method will need to specifically fit within the context and timescales of Building in Use (BiU) reviews employed by the department and be appropriate for all secondary pupils. The successful contractor will work closely with DfE capital advisors to ensure the fit with Building in Use objectives Please note: Deadline for EOI's is 23.59 on Thursday 5th March 2020.
