## Summary

The Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) is currently involved in a public procurement process for the "Scottish Third Sector Tracker" project, which seeks a contractor to perform longitudinal data collection through a series of panel surveys over one year. This initiative falls under the services category and is located in Glasgow, with an active tender stage. The closing date for submissions was on 10 March 2021. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, showcasing SCVO's commitment to transparency and inclusivity in selecting suppliers.

This procurement opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses, particularly research firms and data collection specialists that can demonstrate expertise in survey methodologies, statistical analysis, and third sector dynamics in Scotland. Companies capable of conducting online or telephone surveys and managing panel recruitment will be well-suited to compete for this contract. The anticipated contract value is approximately £48,000, which underscores the importance of understanding and effectively addressing the needs of voluntary organisations in Scotland.

## 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.
