This initiative aims to build upon data collected in previous surveys conducted in 2014 and 2017. The procurement process is currently in the open tender stage, with submissions accepted until 27 March 2020. The survey is centred around understanding the usage of the South Downs National Park by approximately 900 schools within its area, with delivery planned to start on 11 May 2020 and conclude by 28 August 2020. The contract value is £7,500, and it falls under the category of services, specifically telephone survey and research services. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in research, survey services, and educational consultancy. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in conducting surveys and analysing educational engagement within natural environments would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, making this a viable opportunity for local businesses looking to expand their involvement with public sector contracts. ## Notice The South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) wishes to commission a research agency to undertake our third survey of schools to build on the baseline and follow up data collected in 2014 and 2017 respectively. With around 900 schools within the South Downs National Park and in the 10km buffer area, there is huge potential to promote opportunities for understanding the special qualities of the area. There are over 100 providers of learning outside the classroom opportunities located within and near the South Downs National Park, offering a diverse range of learning experiences, from farm visits to museums and more 'adventurous' activities. The purpose of the survey is to ascertain the proportion of schools within our catchment area that are using the South Downs National Park for learning outside the classroom. The results of the survey will feed into our strategic planning regarding engagement with schools to further encourage learning outside the classroom.
