Summary of the contracting process

The National Lottery Community Fund is actively seeking to engage a service provider through an open procedure to conduct the "C0124 Elected Representatives Research." This project, set to replace the previous "MPs and Elected Representatives Survey," aims to gather insights into elected representatives' awareness and perceptions of the Fund, influencing key performance indicators and engagement strategies. The tender, classified under research and development services (CPV: 73000000), invites bids until 8th September 2025, with the contract period beginning on 29th September 2025 and concluding on 28th September 2028. The scope spans multiple regions including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and Europe.

This tender offers a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in research and development, particularly those with experience in public sector engagement and consultancy. Despite being unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, larger firms can leverage this project to expand their portfolio of services within the government and non-profit sectors. The project will serve as a significant reference for future business development, potentially increasing influence and opening doors to further public sector contracts. Companies with expertise in political consultancy and strategic communications will find themselves well-positioned to succeed in this tender process.

Notice Title

C0124 Elected Representatives Research

Notice Description

The Fund is a UK-wide organisation that delivers funding through five main portfolios: England, Scotland, Wales, Northern-Ireland, and UK-wide. The Fund's Strategic Analysis team are developing a new piece of research with one of our key stakeholder groups, elected representatives from across the United Kingdom (MPs, MSPs, MLAs, and MSs). This will be a re-designed piece of research to replace the previous piece (the "MPs and Elected Representatives Survey"), the contract for which has recently expired. The primary objective of the new research is to capture data about elected representatives' perceptions and awareness of the Fund, data which will be used to inform one of our corporate KPIs (KPI 6: "More than 50% of elected members are aware that the Fund supports good causes thanks to the National Lottery"). The research will also be used to measure the effectiveness of our engagement and advocacy approach with elected representatives. Data will be used to inform portfolio level business planning and engagement strategies.
