This contract falls within the market and economic research industry category and is set to be conducted across the United Kingdom, including various British territories and other European locations. The procurement is currently active and has been classified as a services contract, with the tender period having ended on 14th September 2018. The contract period is scheduled from 25th March 2019 to 24th March 2023. This procurement process employs an 'Other' method of procurement. This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in research services, particularly those with experience in survey methodologies and data analysis. Given the modifications in survey methodology due to the pandemic, companies that can effectively conduct telephone surveys and manage large-scale data collection would be well-suited for this contract. Businesses with capabilities in adapting traditional methodologies to modern needs, particularly in light of the transition from in-home to telephone interviews, are encouraged to engage in this tender to support their growth. ## Notice Modification Notice Original description: Financial Lives Survey Lot 1. The survey is biennial, with the work required to plan, run and report the survey lasting 2 years. This contract covers Waves 2 and 3 with an option to extend to Wave 4. The Lot 1 Supplier is required to programme and host the survey, including a full pilot, and provide the survey data cleaned and with weights appended, ready for producing data tables. Description of the modifications The first two waves of the survey, conducted in 2016/7 and 2019/20, were undertaken using a combination of online and in-home interviewing. The aim of the in-home survey was to ensure those offline or in some way digitally excluded were represented in the survey. The Covid pandemic has necessitated a change in survey methodology, with large-scale in-home interviewing still unlikely. The in-home survey will be replaced with a telephone survey. Description of the economic or technical reasons and the inconvenience or duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor: The Covid pandemic has necessitated a change in survey methodology, with large-scale in-home interviewing still unlikely. For this reason Wave 3 of the Financial Lives survey will follow a different methodology to preceding waves and the in-home survey will be replaced with a telephone survey. There are a number of benefits associated with one supplier conducting both pieces of fieldwork in terms of sampling, weighting, data merging, costs and timescales. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d9ea49cd-85b1-494b-aed2-89e0f783ab69 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - . | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Jan 2022 | | Submission deadline | 13 Sep 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 25 Mar 2019 - 24 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | 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 | BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E20 1JN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | | Local authority | Newham | | Electoral ward | Stratford Olympic Park | | Westminster constituency | Stratford and Bow | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79300000 - Market and economic research; polling and statistics ## Release History - 14 Jan 2022 at 16:01 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d9ea49cd-85b1-494b-aed2-89e0f783ab69 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d9ea49cd-85b1-494b-aed2-89e0f783ab69 14th January 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/respondToList.html?noticeId=656711263 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
