What is being bought

Published requirement description

Understanding Society: the UK Household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS) is a longitudinal social survey of households and individuals living in the UK. For Understanding Society, data collection began in January 2009 and participants are interviewed annually. In the second and third waves (2010-12) a wide range of objective health measures were collected by a nurse, including venous blood samples from which we produced a range of analytes, extracted DNA and produced genetic and epigenetic data. This data has been extensively used by the public health and social science research communities. This contract covers a wave of bio-data collection at Wave 16 (2024-26), with the emphasis being on participants collecting samples/measurements themselves. The survey is designed and managed by the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Essex.
