CR20103 - Healthy Environment Public Dialogue - Invitation to Quote

Notice Description

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Friday 23rd October 2020 at 11:00. **Do not apply directly to the buyer** All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal. UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UK SBS) on behalf of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), wishes to establish a Contract for the provision of Healthy Environment Public Dialogue. Overview: This investigation aims to use public dialogue to inform the National Environment Research Council's (NERC) healthy environment programme in making decisions about priorities for future research. This is a diverse programme which intersects with a range of disciplines, including partnerships with other research councils. NERC/UK Research and Innovation is therefore inviting proposals for public dialogue which help us to present the breadth of that work to a public audience in a clear, accessible and engaging way. Due to the public health measures relating to COVID-19, we are looking for a supplier that will help us to explore innovative approaches to deliver this dialogue entirely online. Given the absence of physical workshops, we are looking to invite creative and/or digital organisations as partners - including those who are likely to have little to no experience of public dialogue - to help think about new ways we can bring the research to life for participants. We are therefore inviting bids from partnerships between organisations that bring together dialogue, creative and/or digital expertise. The project design and delivery must also take account issues of equality, diversity and inclusion, including an approach that allows us to hear specifically from groups who are less engaged in the natural environment.
