Notice Description

We have deleted the PASS/FAIL requirement to evidence a current, industry accredited quality management system. Instead, we require bidders to outline how they will ensure a high quality of service, within the award criteria section. We have clarified that the total CONTRACT VALUE should not exceed GBP 25,000 Inclusive of VAT. We would encourage previous bidders to re-apply, taking note of the amended timescales and these minor changes.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Early Action System Change Programme will invest up to GBP 7.5m to help accelerate a shift to investing a greater share of public resources in effective, early action. It will do this by offering dedicated resources to bring together local multi- agency partnerships to co-design longer term, preventative approaches in one of three key areas: - Healthy Diet & Active Lifestyle - Children, young people & families, or - Women and the criminal justice system. Systems change is a complex area and our grant funding seeks to influence the expenditure and delivery plans of public sector agencies and their partners, as well as fostering a genuine culture of community led decision making and resource allocation. While we have considerable investment expertise within the Fund in these subject areas, we would benefit from further training, expert advice and guidance about how to achieve effective systems change within local authority or strategic area partnership settings and support to scrutinise and influence local area partnership delivery, commissioning and spending plans. This contract is to support Big Lottery Fund Scotland Directorate Early Action staff in three key areas: a) Mentoring key personnel (small team and one to one) across the assessment and decision making stages, to enhance their knowledge, skills and confidence to support the local area partnerships to frame, achieve and learn from well-developed change strategies. b) Providing expert analysis of early stage proposals to the Fund within this programme, with a particular emphasis on assessing partners' change management readiness, the rationale for their local systems change and intended approach, and c) On-going coaching support through initial Early Action proposal implementation (supporting Fund staff to review and approve more detailed partnership delivery plans, as well as local work getting underway). Please note this is a re-advertisement and all previous bidders are encouraged to re-apply.

Renewal: The Contract is for a term of 21 months in the first instance. Subject to agreement on terms, the Fund shall have the option to extend for up to a further 12 months.

    "description": "Award against framework: In response to the feedback we received from potential suppliers, and in reviewing the responses to our invitation to tender, we have decided to re-issue the invitation to tender, with a number of minor changes. We have deleted the PASS/FAIL requirement to evidence a current, industry accredited quality management system. Instead, we require bidders to outline how they will ensure a high quality of service, within the award criteria section. We have clarified that the total CONTRACT VALUE should not exceed GBP 25,000 inclusive of VAT. We would encourage previous bidders to re-apply, taking note of the amended timescales and these minor changes. (SC Ref:518111)",
