The survey will consist of multiple choice, multiple selection, and free text questions with a focus on understanding how businesses cope with changes. DBT seeks suppliers with ISO20252, MRS, ESOMAR, and ISO27001 accreditations. Prospective bidders must register interest by 5.00pm on Friday 14th July 2023. The contract, valued at £220,000 GBP, is set to start on 1st October 2023 and end on 30th September 2025. This tender by the Department for Business & Trade offers growth opportunities to businesses capable of conducting business surveys meeting specific accreditation requirements. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in market, opinion, and social research are well-suited to compete. The survey delivery addresses various locations, including British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, United Kingdom, and more. The survey process will be 'in the field' for up to 15 days, with data delivery expected no later than one week after each monthly survey wave closes. ## Notice The Department for Business & Trade (DBT) needs to commission monthly survey questions via a monthly Business Opinion Omnibus Survey to help monitor the impact of changes in business and economic conditions on businesses; to gather data and evidence to better understand how businesses are coping with any changes; and so that policies can be developed to help businesses adjust to changes in economic circumstances. The questions need to be asked as part of a Business Omnibus survey, so as to reduce costs as such a survey consists of questions from multiple research clients. The sampling and screening costs are also shared across clients, as well as the use of a mixture of Multiple Choice, Multiple Selection, and Free Text Questions, to further reduce costs. DBT will use the data tables received from the supplier to summarise and write up the results internally, which also reduces the cost and increases the speed of delivery. We would like the monthly survey process to occur at the start of the month, so that we can receive the data delivery on the same date each month (or next working day where applicable). The survey should be 'in the field' for a maximum of 15 days from survey wave open. Data delivery should occur no later than one week after survey wave close each month. We have no expectation regarding the number of years of experience the supplier must have. However, the supplier must be able to demonstrate how they intend to create (or use an existing) a proportionate, representative, and accurate business panel from a panel of business owners and/or business senior management. The supplier should have the following accreditations: - ISO20252 Conformity: Standard for market, opinion, and social research. - Market Research Society (MRS) Accreditation - European Society for Opinion and Market Research (ESOMAR) Membership - ISO27001 Conformity: Information Security Management Additional information: We would like to invite prospective bidders to register their interest in this opportunity by emailing via the contact details below, by 5.00pm on Friday 14th July 2023. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b3bea425-8ab1-4989-9cb6-dbe3054a16ea | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 28 Jul 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2023 - 30 Sep 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £220,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR BUSINESS, ENERGY & INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B2 4AJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Ladywood | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79311000 - Survey services ## Release History - 29 Jun 2023 at 11:53 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b3bea425-8ab1-4989-9cb6-dbe3054a16ea ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b3bea425-8ab1-4989-9cb6-dbe3054a16ea 29th June 2023 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-business-and-trade ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
