This open procedure tender is currently in the planning stage, with a submission deadline set for 10th March 2021. The total contract value is £48,000 and the work involves conducting a survey every two months over a one-year period, necessitating participation from a representative panel of 400-600 organisations based in Glasgow and the broader UK region. This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses experienced in survey methodologies, statistical analysis, and data collection, particularly those proficient in managing longitudinal studies. Companies specialising in market research, social research, or consultancy services that understand the nuances of the third sector in Scotland would be well-positioned to compete. Participants will be expected to demonstrate robust technical skills and the ability to manage a diverse respondent panel while maintaining high data quality standards throughout the contract period. ## Notice The Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) is looking to award a contract for the provision of longitudinal data collection. We require suppliers to undertake a panel survey every two months for the duration of 12 months, six survey phases in total. ### Lot Information Lot 1 We require suppliers to undertake a panel survey every two months for the duration of 12 months, six survey phases in total. The surveys must be carried out in a manner agreed with the project manager, but most likely online or by telephone, to an agreed timescale. The survey will consist of a set of approximately twenty fixed closed questions with the majority having multiple prompted responses to choose from. For each survey phase, we would expect to change a small number of the questions, perhaps three or four, in response to current events. We would also like the option to add one open question in each survey phase, suppliers should factor that into their pricing. We require suppliers to construct and maintain the panel. The Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations will advise on what type and size of organisations will be required to make the panel representative of the sector. The panel can largely be drawn from the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations membership and wider networks and therefore the supplier need not source contact details. The size of the panel needs to reflect the diversity of the Scottish third sector and be sufficiently large to support statistical confidence in the overall analysis. It also needs to be large enough to enable for the analysis to be broken down to some degree at sectoral and regional levels. Accordingly, we expect the panel size to be in the range of 400-600 organisations. Suppliers should however advise what they think appropriate, based on their understanding of the scale and composition of the Third Sector in Scotland. As far as possible, the panel should comprise the same organisations in each survey phase, with new representative organisations recruited if an organisation no longer wishes to participate. In addition to the raw data, the supplier must provide summary data tables from the scripted questionnaire. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB406131 | | 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 | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | 10 Mar 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 8 Feb 2021 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £48,000 | | Lots value | £48,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Unsuccessful | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH COUNCIL FOR VOLUNTARY ORGANISATIONS | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G1 1UZ | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow East | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73210000 - Research consultancy services ## Release History - 8 Feb 2021 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB406131 - 8 Feb 2021 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB406137 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=FEB406131&idx=1 8th February 2021 - Corporate Services - Call Off Procedures - ITT - Longitudinal Panel Survey - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=FEB406131&idx=2 8th February 2021 - Draft longitudinal questionnaire - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB406131 Scottish Voluntary Sector Tracker -- a longitudinal panel survey of Scottish third/voluntary sector organisations. - The Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) is looking to award a contract for the provision of longitudinal data collection.
