Lot details

Lot 1

The Enterprising Third Sector team in the Scottish Government has commissioned the Social Enterprise (SE) Census biennially since 2015 and is a world leading survey of the SE sector across Scotland, giving data on the health of the sector. We are looking to refresh the process while still keeping the benefits of collecting a longitudinal data set. The service provider should have knowledge of social research, running surveys and using collected data to form coherent analysis in the form of a report to be published. The census is run on behalf of the SE sector and their input and buy in to the process is vital, a Census Steering Group made up of sector representatives should be formed, with the final agreed questions being run through that group. The specific methodology can be flexible, but should include a questionnaire of SE Sector, target a 20% response rate from known social enterprises, include Financial Data Gathering and a formal written report of findings. It may include a qualitative follow up of questionnaire to solidify understanding of trends. The anticipated start date for the contract is late August/early September 2023, with publication of the 2023 Census in November 2024. There is the possibility of an extension to complete the 2025 census upon review of the 2023 census.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Survey services (79311000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 7913,7404 median · 30.9 average (5,803 of 13,740 with a bid count)3.2 average (6,507 of 13,740 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
