Dear Sir/MadamFollowing the publication of the recent research reports on the Review of the NSS, the UK funding bodies are putting in place elements to inform and undertake development and design of the new survey. The UK funding bodies have committed to a period of robust cognitive testing, piloting and consultation in advance of any new changes to the survey, which is due to be launched Spring 2017. One of the first stages, the cognitive testing of proposed changes to the survey, is set to take place from the end of September, initially to inform the first sets of piloting activity in Spring 2015.The call to tender for the cognitive testing has now been raised by Shared Business Services, HEFCE’s new partner for overseeing and organising procurement.The deadline for responses is September 4th 2014 and any potentially interested parties who may want to bid for the work, must go to the following link on the Contracts Finder website:https://online.contractsfinder.businesslink.gov.uk/Common/View%20Notice.aspx?site=1000&lang=en&NoticeId=1504976Please note that you do not need to register in order to read the specification.Any questions relating to the tender must be raised through the e-sourcing tool in the interests of a fair, legal process rather than directed to ourselves or HEFCE.NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Sell2Wales Web Site at http://www.sell2wales.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=12763.
