This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically for tablet computers, and is open for submissions until 5 August 2020. The project, valued at £200,000, will commence upon contract award on 28 August 2020 and extend until 31 May 2021. The primary delivery location is London, United Kingdom, and the procurement process is classified as an open procedure. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the technology and electronics sectors, particularly those with expertise in developing user-friendly devices for data collection. Companies that can creatively design a battery-powered device tailored for conducting surveys, while ensuring ease of use and data security, will be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially encouraged to participate in this process, as their innovative approaches may align well with the project's requirements. ## Notice The ESS Electronic Questionnaire Device is required to enable completion of a questionnaire on a dedicated device. Bidders should outline in their proposal how to create or tailor an existing device (eg tablet) which is capable of allowing respondents to self-administer the ESS questionnaire so it can be used in parallel with web surveys. The battery powered device would be used to collect questionnaire data off-line and would be simple to use. No log in would be required, it would have a touch screen functionality (and possible voice recording for open items) and there would be no other accessible apps or settings besides the survey app when in interviewing mode. The device would be designed so it could be left by interviewers at respondent's homes with instructions on who should complete it. A special function would allow data to be uploaded to a central server by an interviewer once they got the device to their home. With a cleaning protocol the devices could be used for multiple respondents (this might require a waterproof device or the use of a durable see-through case that could be replaced each time - bidders should outline their proposed approach). The device would have no use beyond survey completion. The questionnaire would be designed to be as similar as possible to a web questionnaire (ESS centrally uses Qualtrics) to maximise equivalence across the self-completion modes. Bidders would be asked to develop a tool where data could be uploaded to different national fieldwork agencies directly from the device (ideally without transmitting it via third party servers). Bidders are asked to be creative on how such a device can be set up. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2d9a5b9a-c8cf-4407-9996-8995960ee374 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Jul 2020 | | Submission deadline | 5 Aug 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 27 Aug 2020 - 31 May 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £200,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | EUROPEAN SOCIAL SURVEY ERIC | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC1V 0HB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI43 Haringey and Islington | | Local authority | Islington | | Electoral ward | Clerkenwell | | Westminster constituency | Islington South and Finsbury | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages ### Codes - 30213200 - Tablet computer ## Release History - 3 Jul 2020 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2d9a5b9a-c8cf-4407-9996-8995960ee374 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2d9a5b9a-c8cf-4407-9996-8995960ee374 3rd July 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL160020 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.europeansocialsurvey.org ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
