Birmingham City Council (the Council) requires a supplier for the provision of a qualitative real-time listening project called The Price we can't Pay: Real-time community listening to understand the impact of the Cost-of-Living crisis on Birmingham's mental health and wellbeing.
This contract will be for a period of 6 months commencing 01 02 2023 until 01 08 2023 with an indicative maximum budget up to ?55,000. The Council declared a Cost-of-Living crisis on 6th September 2023. As a local authority, the Council has taken a number of proactive steps to ensure the prompt support to our communities over the coming months.
We are looking for a consultancy/agency with experience in undertaking rapid qualitative research to set up a 4-month real-time community listening exercise, via video diary and written blogs, with participants from across Birmingham.

o Weekly short video diaries from 20 participants submitted via an app to an online fieldnotes app (visible only to researchers and member of the People Team via a dashboard)
o Written blogs every six weeks from some participants, to be hosted on the mental health pages of the Birmingham City Council website. Participants would work in partnership with the provider and the Council to edit these blogs and address any issues arising from these. These blogs will be of the participant's choice, to highlight issues that are important to them, under the broad heading of mental wellbeing
o Participants are to be paid by the provider for contributing their insights and experience with a fair wage that is representative of their time required to produce the blog and video diary. The Council are to retain editorial control of the video content for use in the Council presentations and reports.
