Notice Title

PROCUREMENT FOR THE SUPPLY OF RESEARCH SERVICES - TACKLING LONELINESS EVALUATION

Notice Description

In early 2020, the Trust ran a consultation to discover how important it was to reduce social isolation and improve integration and engagement with provision, within the Armed Forces community. The consultation highlighted loneliness as a major factor of social isolation. It can affect people of all ages and from all backgrounds. The Tackling Loneliness programme was designed to address this challenge by targeting specific groups within the Armed Forces community who are traditionally harder to reach. This procurement is seeking a Contractor to provide research and evaluation services, in order to evaluate the impact of the Tackling Loneliness programme, as outlined in Schedule 1 of the ITT
