The purpose of this Request for Proposals is to engage an organisation to undertake research on the drivers of landlord motivation to upgrade and maintain their rental properties, where children in those properties may be at risk of rheumatic fever. The organisation engaged will have expertise in reaching sectors of society who may be reluctant or unprepared to participate in research. In this case, we need to reach landlords who may not have English as a first language, may not be primarily residing in New Zealand or may be suspicious or reluctant to speak about their rental properties.

This is a qualitative piece of research on the drivers and opinions of landlords and we need researchers who can think creatively about how we might access these individuals or property management companies to get this information. The researchers will also need to be able to target a specific segment of landlords – those with rental properties in geographic areas where the rate of rheumatic fever is high relative to the rest of New Zealand and where overcrowding may be present in the household. This will require the researchers to have strong stakeholder engagement and a credible ‘on the ground’ presence in the areas of focus.
