EARF research methodology summary
table
EARF would like to encourage organisations to set out a clear research methodology in their tenders. At tender stage this is indicative and will be further refined and
finalised for the Inception Report.
The following table is an example of a research methodology summary that can be included as an annex to the technical tender. This is currently being piloted for EARF
so is not compulsory and will not count within the tender page limit. It will assist the tender review panel in understanding the proposed methodology. Suppliers are
encouraged to best adapt the table according to the research objectives and the proposed approach. For example, a robust literature review will not include research
participants, but will require a clear search strategy to identify relevant literature. Qualitative methods will require a different approach to sampling respondents as a
quantitative survey, etc.
