Quantitative Data Collection Services

The Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) is inviting tenders for the appointment of service providers to conduct quantitative data collection for the SAPRS sub-study, which focuses on scientists and researchers across various South African provinces. The successful bidder will demonstrate experience in conducting quantitative surveys among academic and research populations, particularly within universities and research councils. A proven track record in digital survey administration, including the use of platforms like REDCap, is essential, as is the ability to manage fieldwork operations across multiple provinces simultaneously.

Bidders must provide references from academic institutions or research councils to confirm their capacity to meet survey targets within specified timelines while adhering to ethical standards and data protection protocols. The tender requires a clear understanding of the study's objectives, a detailed fieldwork timeline, and a stakeholder engagement strategy to facilitate access and encourage participation. Additionally, the team must possess multilingual capabilities and experience in ethical data collection procedures, ensuring compliance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). This project offers an opportunity to contribute to significant research that informs policy and practice in the scientific community.
