## Summary

The procurement process for the "CR19067 NFER Teachers Voice" contract was conducted by UK Shared Business Services Limited, and focuses on acquiring research services in the education sector. This direct tender, valued at £61,171, falls under the category of research and development consultancy services and is located in London, United Kingdom. The award was issued on 3rd January 2020, following a completion of the contract period which started on 6th January 2020 and ended on 27th February 2020.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in educational research and data analysis, particularly those with capabilities in conducting surveys and providing robust statistical insights. Companies that can effectively leverage the findings from the "Teacher Voice" survey will have a unique advantage, potentially influencing policy decisions regarding teacher retention. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can offer innovative and cost-effective solutions in this space are especially encouraged to explore similar contracts in the future.

## Notice

*The contract was award directly without prior publication against PCR 2015, Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) * On OME's behalf, it is intended that NFER will ask several questions relating to teacher retention via their omnibus / syndicated survey of teachers, known as 'Teacher Voice'. In effect, OME would be buying question space on this survey. NFER would then provide the resulting data to OME for additional analysis to support the independent School Teachers' (Pay) Review Body (to which OME provides secretariat services). The School Teachers' Review Body would welcome more robust teacher retention data, especially when it can be used to provide insight into possible trade-offs between, for example, teachers' pay and other aspects of the teaching role that may be key in influencing existing, fully-trained teachers to leave the profession prematurely. Simply raising pay may not always be the most appropriate, effective and efficient way of retaining quality staff, and making pay recommendations to Government is the core of the Review Body's role. This survey uniquely meets the School Teachers' Review Body's requirements due to: * its cost-effective, robust and large sample of teachers (a well-designed specialist omnibus survey is a much cheaper way of securing good quality survey data than designing an ad hoc sample survey from scratch); * its unique links to wider data with which the survey can be linked; and * the high status it commands in the educational research community.
