The Office of the Third Sector is seeking tenders to produce 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 Office of the Third Sector says that the two-phase study
work will address both the choice of suitable indicators and measures, and the proposed
methodology for measuring these, and contain specific proposals relating to the 
design of a bespoke survey of third sector organisations.

Given the nature of the brief, the Office of the Third Sector expects that the successful
tenderer will be a multidisciplinary research team, with expertise in the following
areas:

* the third sector

* local government performance

* question development and testing

* sampling and survey design, and analysis of quantitative survey data

* the ability to work as a team and with an advisory group and other stakeholders

The deadline for proposals is midday on 30 July 2007, and tender interviews will
take place on 3 August.
