Description

Lancaster University is seeking to appoint an established and experienced company to undertake a substantial Public Sector Population Survey in two areas of Lancashire, UK: Lancaster and Morecambe, and Blackburn with Darwen.

The University requires the successful company to:
• Undertake a robust and representative Population Survey through 3200 face to face interviews (1600 people in Lancaster and Morecambe and 1600 people in Blackburn with Darwen).
• Provide survey data and Topline Reports as detailed in the specification.

We do not believe there is a requirement for market research surveys conducted online or by phone within the scope of this survey.

The University wishes to award this contract to commence from 1st April 2020 and expire on the 31st July 2020. Due to strict funding restrictions it is critical that this work is completed by 31st July 2020 and that deadlines stated within the tender are met.

There is an upper budget for this project of £166,000 exc VAT.
