WSROC / COMMUNITY PRIORITIES SURVEY 2012 - Q-2012-029

 

Proposals are invited from suitably qualified persons or firms for the provision of services to Auburn City Council as outlined in the project brief.

 

In 2010 Auburn City Council conducted its first ever Community Priorities Survey. 

Auburn City Council seeks to engage a Contractor to review, and where applicable update, the methodology to the 2010 questionnaire and conduct a follow up Community Priorities Survey. The Contractor will be required to analyse the results of the survey in an effective and meaningful way and provide a written report to Council. The ethnically diverse nature of the Auburn LGA and the distinct geographic variations in socio-economic characteristics across the LGA’s suburbs, mean it is critical that the sample of survey respondents be appropriately distributed across the LGA. The high proportion of residents from non-English speaking backgrounds may also influence the Contractor’s methodology.

NSW Regions: Sydney

Request for Proposals - An invitation for expressions of interest / seeking preliminary proposals. In many cases these may be used as a basis for shortlisting tenderers, along with other criteria such as expertise and experience. Prospective tenderers are initially evaluated for their proposal against the relevant selection criteria. A number of those who best meet the criteria are invited to tender. For complex or some other types of procurement, where the product or service outcomes are highly dependent on the content of the proposals received from Tenderers, the outcome may be negotiated.
