This procurement falls under the services industry, specifically focusing on market and economic research, and will be located in the East of England. The tender is currently in the active phase, with submissions closing at 12:00 noon on 4 April 2017. The expected contract value is £50,000, and it employs an open procurement method, allowing any interested party to submit a proposal. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in survey services and market research. Companies capable of conducting quantitative research and analysing data will find this project particularly well-suited to their expertise. Given the focus on understanding demographic trends regarding smoke alarm ownership, businesses with a background in statistical analysis and community engagement will be ideally positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice Essex Fire Authority has made a commitment to ensure that every household in Essex is fitted with a working smoke alarm. The Authority has invested significant resources in home fire safety which has resulted in the fitting of tens of thousands of smoke alarms in the households it visits. With approximately 800,000 households in Essex and an estimated ownership rate of 88% the Authority acknowledges the overwhelming majority are not fitted by the Authority. In order to make progress towards our commitment the Authority requires a better understanding of smoke alarm ownership in Essex. The Authority requires quantitative research to be undertaken to provide: (a) An understanding of the current rate of smoke alarm ownership in Essex. (b) A method for tracking the rate of smoke alarm ownership in Essex for the next 3 years. (c) Information on the types of people who do not currently have smoke alarms fitted in their houses which can inform the Authority's marketing and targeting of activity in the most effective way. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE NOTE THE DEADLINE OF 12.00 NOON ON 04/04/2017 (AS STATED IN SECTION 10 ABOVE) IS THE DEADLINE FOR TENDER SUBMISSIONS. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/14ff07a1-137b-4ed0-9349-a69f35162fde | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Mar 2017 | | Submission deadline | 4 Apr 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 Apr 2017 - 31 Aug 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | 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 | ESSEX FIRE AUTHORITY | | Locality | WITHAM | | Post town | Chelmsford | | Postcode | CM8 3HB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH34 Essex Haven Gateway | | Local authority | Braintree | | Electoral ward | Silver End & Cressing | | Westminster constituency | Witham | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 79300000 - Market and economic research; polling and statistics - 79310000 - Market research services - 79311000 - Survey services ## Release History - 14 Mar 2017 at 09:24 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/14ff07a1-137b-4ed0-9349-a69f35162fde ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/14ff07a1-137b-4ed0-9349-a69f35162fde 14th March 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Witham:-Measurement-of-Smoke-Alarm-Ownership-in-Essex/T2M6A57N29 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
