Expressions of Interest are invited for any combination of Part 1, Part 2, or both. Part 1 of the research focuses on the way subject-level TEF information is most practically delivered to students, testing the usability of three subject-level classifications. This will require primary research, ideally in the form of quasi-experimental user-testing of the three classification systems with potential undergraduate student applicants, along with some questions about institutional-level TEF use. Part 2 of the research considers the broad factors conceptualised as making up assessment of teaching quality (in its broadest sense), and how relevant and important they are to students in terms of their selection of HE provider and the quality of their undergraduate student experience. This is likely to involve primary research in the form of a questionnaire for undergraduate applicants and first-year students. Additional information: Deadline for receipt of expression of interest is 5pm on 1st September 2017. ## CPV classification Research and development services and related consultancy services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/77e67008-c783-4878-8716-98013848672e) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
