II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The University is seeking a bidder for additional data collection between waves of our
existing panel study, Understanding Society, the UK Household Longitudinal Study. The aim
is to develop methods for “event-triggered data collection” using online surveys: theadditional data collection will take place on a monthly basis. In an initial phase, this will be
piloted for six months on our Innovation Panel sample, which comprises approximately
2,800 invited respondents. Respondents will be asked a single question every month about
whether they have experienced any of a defined list of types of events in the last calendar
month; if they report any events, they will be asked follow-up questions about the events
experienced. As an option, if the pilot is successful, it will progress to the main
Understanding Society panel, with approximately 34,000 invited respondents.
