Tender for carrying out place satisfaction survey
This Contract Notice is being placed on behalf of
London
Councils and
Capital Ambition who are seeking a service
provider to work with potentially 32 London Boroughs and the City
of London (the “participating councils”) to devise and implement
the Place Survey. This will be to provide information to at
least meet the requirements of the National Indicators satisfaction
Place Survey as specified by the
Department of Communities and Local
Government. As part of Comprehensive Area Assessment
the participating councils will be required to carry out the
'Place Survey'- every two years. This largely replaces the Best
Value Performance Indicators general satisfaction survey that
was carried out every three years.
As the frequency of the survey has been increased to alternate
years, the framework being tendered will allow the participating
councils to set up a contract with the service provider is to
undertake their Place Survey for the 2008 and potentially the
following Place Survey (nominally in 2010). There will be an
option for the participating councils who are party to the
Framework Agreement (that will be in place for four year), to
extend their individual contracts for a further two years. The
contract will enable any of the 32 London boroughs and the City of
London to use this contract for any or both of these surveys.
Tenders are being invited using the Open Procedure and a
Contract Notice was published in the
Official Journal of
the European Union on 11 July 2008. This tendering
exercise is being managed by
London Councils on behalf of the
participating councils and if you are interested in obtaining a
tender pack please refer to the either the OJEU web-site or the
London Councils website.
