Repeat the train research carried out in September 2018 2. Conduct a new piece of travel preference research at 2 new stop locations for the tram train operation These research pieces will profile respondent's travel patterns on both train and tram train, indicating whether trips made on tram train are new trip or are a switch from another public transport mode Additional information: Full tender documentation can be obtained from www.sypte.co.uk/contracts ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5d048e33-0e54-4c77-8cb4-cd909c7542e8 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Feb 2019 | | Submission deadline | 6 Feb 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 20 Feb 2019 | | Contract period | 21 Feb 2019 - 31 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £24,970 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £20,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOUTH YORKSHIRE PASSENGER TRANSPORT EXECUTIVE | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 2BQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | XANTA | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79311000 - Survey services - 79342310 - Customer survey services ## Release History - 22 Feb 2019 at 13:40 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5d048e33-0e54-4c77-8cb4-cd909c7542e8 - 11 Jan 2019 at 13:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a51c1821-7e2e-4e5f-8429-456c22b06d80 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5d048e33-0e54-4c77-8cb4-cd909c7542e8 22nd February 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a51c1821-7e2e-4e5f-8429-456c22b06d80 11th January 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
