The Office of the Third Sector is seeking to commission feasibility and development work to recommend indicators and measures of a thriving local third sector, and of the quality of funding relationships and consultation between the sector and local statutory bodies.
The work will address both the choice of suitable indicators and measures, and the proposed methodology for measuring these, and will contain specific proposals relating to the design of a bespoke survey of third sector organisations.
The first phase of this work will explore, evaluate and recommend possible indicators, and develop suitable questions and measures. A major part of this phase will be to recommend robust methodology for a survey of third sector organisations.
The second phase will be a small pilot survey of around 450 third sector organisations, to take forward and evaluate an agreed shortlist of measures, sampling registers and data collection methods.
The deadline for proposals for the tender was 13 August 2007. We will be awarding the contract for the work in late August, and expect the research to be completed in late November 2007.
