Notice Title

BIG001-1105 Understanding the context of thriving communities 2020

Notice Description

The National Lottery Community Fund (the 'Fund') is seeking to procure a suitable supplier for the provision of research to further develop our understanding about what enables communities to thrive. This Invitation to Tender sets out the context for this work and the services required. In spring/summer 2019 we commissioned an initial piece of research to review the evidence about what works to enable communities to thrive (see here for full report: https://www.tnlcommunityfund.org.uk/media/insights/documents/Understanding-Thriving- Communities.pdf?mtime=20191218130904). We are now commissioning a second project to build on that research, adding further contextual information and additional sense-making. This project will include the following: 1. Synthesis of existing models and theories to map the components of a thriving community. This will contextualise the model that we have created (attached in the technical envelope on the e-tendering site), which focuses on how our funding contributes to thriving communities. 2. Systematic review of secondary evidence about what contextual factors enable a community to thrive - building on the first report, which focused more on interventions, to consider wider contextual factors such as the economy, diversity, transport etc. This will help with sense-making and enable the evidence to be acted upon. 3. Carry out more in-depth secondary research on agreed areas of interest from the existing report, producing engaging thematic summaries of the evidence to be shared internally and externally. Areas of focus will be co-produced by the Fund and the successful bidder, but are likely to include participation, volunteering and community hubs. Please refer to the additional information area for the link to the Bravo e-tendering portal, where once registered you can gain access to the tender specification, timescales and process. The initial duration of this contract is 6 months to deliver the required deliverables. The Fund reserves the right to extend the duration by a further 6 months at no extra cost. Or to extend the contract duration by a further 6 months and award additional services of the same scope with a further budget available, however this is not guaranteed. Additional information: Please refer to the link below to take you to the Bravo e-tendering portal, where once registered in full you can gain access to the tender specification, timescales and process. The specification is viewable within the tender response envelopes. If you experience any technical difficulties access the tender then please contact the Bravo helpdesk on 0800 069 8630.
