What is being bought

Published requirement description

Newry Mourne and Down District Council (the Council) invite tenders for the undertaking of a Residents’ Survey for its Council areas. The survey will target a representative sample of residents over the age of 16.

It is increasingly important that Councils adopt an evidence-led approach to decision making. The expectation is that the Residents’ Survey will continue to provide reliable and robust baseline data, complimenting the previous residents’ surveys, to facilitate decision making.
