Interested suppliers are required to register via the Council's e-tendering system, In-tend, to participate in this process. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in community engagement, market research, or health and social services. Suppliers who can effectively recruit participants from diverse demographic groups and facilitate focus groups will find this particularly advantageous.

This contract will be for a period of 2 months commencing 15th August 2022 until 17th October 2022. The requirement for focus group research in the DPH Annual Report is driven by the need to illustrate and understand citizen's voices within the work of Public Health and Birmingham City Council. In particular, the feedback from these focus groups will provide us with a snapshot of attitudes and perceptions from Birmingham residents. This will allow us to measure general levels of support or opposition towards an increase in the use of digital technology to improve health. For each focus group, providers will be required to: o recruit participants. o ensure that the setting for the focus group/s is a safe and accessible environment which considers the needs of the group member/s. o ensure participants complete consent forms for participation including audio-recordings. o capture data relating to the views of citizens around the use of digital technology in improving their own health as well as the wider health of the public. o gain a greater understanding of these views through appropriate analysis of the data. o capture specific quotes from participants in relation to the topic of digital technology and health. o conduct conversations in person or via web-based video calls (or other non-face to face methods where practical). We are looking to fund a series of focus groups. Providers may bid for a minimum of one and a maximum of three focus groups. Each bid must be for a separate target group. See below. Lot A - Asian and Asian British Adults (18+) Lot B - Adults (18+) with a physical or mental health condition or illness Lot C - Faith Lot D - LGBTQ+ Lot E - Older adults (65+) Lot F - Unemployed and/or in receipt Universal Credit Lot G - Younger Adults (16-25) Lot H - Black/ African/ Caribbean or Black British Adults (18+) The Council will be using its free to use e-tendering system (in-tend) for the administration of this procurement process and potential suppliers must register with the system to be able to express an interest.
