Description

We are looking to commission a commercial research agency to undertake Evaluation surveys with current and recently completed Apprentices and Apprenticeship employers in England. The project also incorporates another survey of Apprentices comprehensively covering their rates of pay, which includes coverage in Scotland and Wales. In England, this pay survey will be merged with the Evaluation learner survey but will be a standalone survey in other nations.
Please note the Deadline for EOIs is 5pm, Tuesday 22nd may 2018

Potential bidders to note that a budget mistakenly included in the initial advert was not correct and has since been removed. For this survey we have decided not to share the budget because we are able to tightly specify our requirements and we are looking for creative suggestions from potential bidders.
