## Summary

Social Work England is conducting a procurement process titled "Public Perceptions Research" aimed at gathering data about social work and public experiences. This open tender, part of the goods and services category, initially invited submissions until 29th November 2019 and has a contract period commencing on 16th December 2019, lasting until 31st March 2020. The value of the contract is set between £25,000 and £35,000, focusing on research services.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in research, particularly those with expertise in both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-positioned to compete for this contract, as the focus on public perceptions research aligns with their capabilities in gathering and analysing community feedback and experiences, ultimately supporting Social Work England in their new regulatory role.

## Notice

Social Work England will officially take over from the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as the new social work regulator on Monday 2nd December 2019. As an organisation we are committed to learning about social work and to gathering data and intelligence about the profession and people's experiences. We are seeking to appoint a supplier to design, conduct and report on a public perceptions survey. This research should look at the views and experiences of people with lived experience of social work and the public with a mixed methodology of quantitative and qualitative research.
