Lifestyle Survey Toolkit

If you are 'contracting out' all or particular parts of your lifestyle survey it is important to get proposals and quotations from a number of different organisations who specialise in conducting lifestyle surveys. 

To obtain useful and comparable quotations and proposals you should prepare a specification for the survey.  This should include:

  • Background to your organisation and its activities
  • Background to the survey and your needs
  • Objectives of the survey and how the findings will be used
  • Work required from the organisation
  • Methodology
  • The outcomes you expect to be achieved
  • (Possibly) an estimate of the budget involved
  • Who will be responsible for the project within your organisation
  • Timescales
