## Description

We require a feasibility study to assess the viability of such a longitudinal study and explore the methodological and other issues that will ensure it most effectively meets the Department's evidence requirements\. The purpose of the feasibility study is to provide independent exploration and appraisal of the design and delivery options for a longitudinal teacher survey\. It should: • Assess the merits of the case for a longitudinal teacher survey • Assess the viability of a longitudinal survey, given our requirements and the challenges ahead \(e\.g\. sampling, response rate and retention, especially for leavers / returners\) • Explore potential design and delivery options, and appraise how well options meet our needs, including cost considerations • Provide a reasoned, on-balance, set of options and recommendations to inform decisions for a prospective longitudinal survey • Provide recommendations to ensure effective practice and risk management is embedded in the planning, specification and management of the survey \(should it go ahead\) Proposed methodology should be guided by the objectives and detailed questions above\. Further detail on requirements and suggested methods will be provided in the ITT for shortlisted bidders\. However, we envisage the feasibility requiring detailed interrogation of DfE and other relevant datasets, review of relevant methodological and teacher workforce literature and consultations with DfE officials and experts in the sector\.
