PS21128 - Stakeholder Engagement Research

Tender description

**Please note this is an Award Notice and not a call for competition, this Contract has been awarded via the CCS Research Marketplace (RM6018) Dynamic Purchasing System .** BBSRC is looking to appoint an external agency to conduct a piece of qualitative and quantitative research to gauge stakeholder perceptions of BBSRC. This will include around 30 in-depth interviews with key stakeholders across a variety of sectors (to be identified by BBSRC), around three focus groups, and an online questionnaire to be sent to over 2000 identified corporate level stakeholders. We may also include a link to the survey on the UKRI website so that we can attract a more diverse range of perspectives. BBSRC will work with the appointed contractor to identify the key areas and themes, which will be used to design the online survey and interview questions. Findings from the three previous stakeholder engagement surveys (undertaken in 2014, 2016 and 2018) will be used to inform the design of this project. However, in the interests of time and efficiencies, the main comparisons will be drawn from the most recent 2018 survey.
