Description

The Authority is intending to undertake a competitive tender exercise for the continued running of the English Housing Survey (EHS). It is envisaged that the requirement will cover three fieldwork years with an optional element covering the fourth fieldwork year. This document sets out the anticipated key requirements and logistics for the potential forthcoming competitive tender exercise. A more detailed specification will be issued on commencement of a formal procurement competition, as part of the invitation to tender (ITT).

The EHS delivers essential information to enable the Authority and other government departments to meet their strategic priorities. It provides information on the housing circumstances of the population in England and the changing condition and energy efficiency of the English housing stock. It monitors and informs the development of housing, building safety, Net Zero, fuel poverty, and other government priorities.

The EHS is a study composed of a core survey and a number of associated components. The core survey consists of a face-to-face interview survey and a physical inspection of the accommodation of a sample of the respondents to the interview survey. The associated components planned for the course of this contract include: a survey of private landlords in 2023 and 2025; a study to assess the market value of dwellings in England; and a component aimed at producing modelled statistics on the housing quality and dwelling condition at local authority level. The Authority intends to engage a Supplier who will be responsible for managing the full survey process.
