There were two lots in the Invitation to Tender: Lot 1: Parents, carers, and the public Lot 2: The Sectors we inspect and regulate The appointed Suppliers will be commissioned to carry out mixed methods research by using, for example, online surveys/polls and focus groups interviews. Additional information: The contract value overall for both lots is £478,045. Additional headroom in the contract has been added to allow for the contract to be extended at Ofsted's discretion for a maximum period of 24 months.
