## Summary

The University of Exeter is conducting a procurement process for the contract titled "Provision of Public Opinion Surveys in Europe to aid Research into Misperceptions." This contract falls under the industry category of public-opinion polling services. The tender was initiated with an open procurement method, and the contract period is set to run from 3rd July 2017 to 31st August 2021. The tender period has ended as of 13th June 2017, after which the award was published on 30th July 2017, with an award value of £143,750.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in survey research, data analysis, and public opinion polling, particularly those capable of operating in multiple European countries. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given their suitability for this project. Enterprises with expertise in political science, public health, and social research may find this opportunity particularly relevant as it aims to uncover critical insights into public misperceptions on key issues such as immigration, vaccination, and climate change.

## Notice

The project will field nationally representative public opinion surveys research in at least 8 European countries to measure the prevalence and correlates of misperceptions about immigration, vaccination, and climate change. This work package is necessary to assessing the extent and variation of public misperceptions in Europe, as previously indicated, on three specific issue areas that cover distinct policy domains: immigration (politics), vaccines and vaccination (health), and climate change (science). By looking at misperceptions across Europe, it is possible to examine a much richer set of potential individual and institutional level factors that may limit or exacerbate the spread of misperceptions, and give us a better understanding of the contextual factors that condition receptivity to corrective messages. But just as importantly, it provides an opportunity to collect public opinion data on issues that pose potential risk to the health and wellbeing of the EU as an institution and to European populations more generally. More specifically, this work package will use survey research to ask Europeans their factual beliefs and opinions about issues where there are likely to misperceptions of significant consequence (politics, health, and science). Additional survey questions will be used to collect data about factors that might be related to misperceptions- everything from demographics (e.g. education) to political variables (e.g. ideology or partisan identification) to well-validated psychological constructs (e.g., need for cognition, need to evaluate, or openness) to everyday behaviour (media consumption). With these data, it will be possible to start examining the prevalence of misperceptions overall, as well as how they vary across different segments of the population.
