Description

Every second year CBC commissions a telephone survey of a representative sample of residents to ask them about how they travel and what they think about transport in CBC. We used the same firm for a number of years (Public Perspectives), and have reached the point where we need to reprocure the work rather than going for a(nother) waiver. The last survey cost £30,000.
We would like to let a contract for the 2024 and 2026 surveys. We will also be preparing the new Local Transport Plan, which may require additional research calling for supplementary survey work using comparable methodology so we would like an option to commission this from the same supplier. Estimated spend would be expected to be the maximum over the period including optional work.

See full specification document attached.
