The tender, classified under market research services, has an upper budget of £166,000 excluding VAT. Key dates include the tender period, which ends on 6th March 2020, with the contract expected to commence on 23rd March 2020 and conclude by 31st July 2020. The opportunity is being offered under an open procurement procedure, which is suited for various organisations. This tender presents valuable opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in market research, public-opinion polling, and statistical services. Companies capable of conducting face-to-face interviews and providing comprehensive data analysis would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The project’s focus on local communities within Lancashire provides a potential advantage for businesses based in that region, fostering collaboration and ensuring that expertise in local demographics is leveraged effectively. ## Notice Lancaster University is seeking to appoint an established and experienced company to undertake a substantial Public Sector Population Survey in two areas of Lancashire, UK: Lancaster and Morecambe, and Blackburn with Darwen. The University requires the successful company to: * Undertake a robust and representative Population Survey through 3200 face to face interviews (1600 people in Lancaster and Morecambe and 1600 people in Blackburn with Darwen). * Provide survey data and Topline Reports as detailed in the specification. We do not believe there is a requirement for market research surveys conducted online or by phone within the scope of this survey. The University wishes to award this contract to commence from 1st April 2020 and expire on the 31st July 2020. Due to strict funding restrictions it is critical that this work is completed by 31st July 2020 and that deadlines stated within the tender are met. There is an upper budget for this project of PS166,000 exc VAT.
