Key dates include tender submissions ending on 6 January 2025 and bid opening on 7 January 2025. This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in cognitive testing, survey development, and materials testing, particularly organisations with expertise in transitioning surveys to digital formats.

Large-scale operations like the National Centre for Social Research, which is awarded the contract worth GBP 154,129, are ideal candidates to compete and contribute to this project, bringing innovative solutions to the Welsh Government's data collection methods. ## Notice Contract to review, refine and test the National Survey for Wales 2025. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The National Survey for Wales is a key source of information for the Welsh Government and its partners. The survey has recently been carried out by telephone, but from 2026-27 it is intended that it will take place primarily online. It is vital that this transition is informed by cognitive testing of questions as they are moved to online mode, and testing of materials for respondents (e.g. survey letters and leaflets). This contract will look at reviewing, refining and testing National Survey questions for online mode. Due to the number of questions to be tested, cognitive testing will be split across two phases, each consisting of a desk review stage and two rounds of cognitive testing interviews. The first phase will take place between March and May 2025, and the second phase between May and July 2025 (dates are currently provisional, with final agreed dates to be confirmed). Alongside the cognitive testing of survey questions, the National Survey respondent materials and the online survey landing page will also be tested, with the aim of providing evidence-based recommendations to inform and improve the process for recruiting respondents. The materials testing will consist of a desk review stage and two rounds of cognitive testing interviews, to take place between May and July 2025 (dates are currently provisional, with final agreed dates to be confirmed). Renewal: Option to extend for a further 5 months. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=145305 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Mar 2025 | | Submission deadline | 6 Jan 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 10 Mar 2025 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £156,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £154,129 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LLYWODRAETH CYMRU / WELSH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | CAERDYDD / CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF10 3NQ | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Cathays | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff South and Penarth | | Delivery location | TLL Wales | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | NATIONAL CENTRE FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79311000 - Survey services - 79311100 - Survey design services - 79311200 - Survey conduction services - 79311300 - Survey analysis services ## Release History - 14 Mar 2025 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=145305 - 13 Nov 2024 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=145305 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV494485 National Survey for Wales 2025 Cognitive Testing and Materials Testing - Contract to review, refine and test the National Survey for Wales 2025. - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR503653 National Survey for Wales 2025 Cognitive Testing and Materials Testing - Contract to review, refine and test the National Survey for Wales 2025. ## Notice URLs - http://gov.wales - http://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID= - https://api.sell2wales.gov.wales/v1?lang=cy/Notice?id=ocds-kuma6s-145305 - https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk - https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.shtml ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
