Description

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Monday, 30th September 2019 at 14:00

DO NOT apply directly to the buyer.

All tender information MUST be submitted through the CCS eSourcing Portal.

Brief Description of Requirement

The objective of the BPS is to determine businesses' views on the extent of the burden of regulation, and whether their perception of the burden has changed, since the previous survey was undertaken (as also the surveys over the last few years). This includes assessing business perceptions on how regulation is enforced and delivered in practice. Where possible we are keen to determine whether any improvement in the perception of the burden is potentially down to changes in Government policy and/or whether regulation is also perceived to be impacting on innovation and growth.

Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement. All attachments can be found with the RFx attachments tab within the Emptoris System.

This contract will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria set out in the MC document.
