## Description

Expressions of interest are sought to conduct a series of qualitative interviews with senior leaders in academy trusts to investigate their experiences of applying for the Regional Academy Growth Fund \(RAGF\)\. The proposed research is qualitative in nature, and we expect it will consist of interviews with 24 different trusts - 3 per RSC region\. At a minimum, we expect the contractor to conduct in-depth interviews with at least two individuals per trust\. The successful bidder will be expected to work closely with the department to develop questions and topic areas for the interview guides\. Whilst we have set out the broad parameters of the methodology bidders are free to suggest amendments if, based on their proven expertise, they can provide clear rationale as to how this will successfully meet the key aims of the research\.
