This procurement falls under the services industry, specifically focusing on test and evaluation and evaluation consultancy services. The tender is currently in the open procedure stage and is set to close on 3rd September 2018. The contract period will commence on 28th September 2018 and run until 31st January 2020, with delivery expected across various locations including the United Kingdom and other regions such as the British Overseas Territories and the Channel Islands. This tender presents significant opportunities for consultancy firms and organisations specialising in evaluation services, particularly those that are SMEs or VCSEs. Businesses that can offer a deep understanding of coproduction principles and have expertise in evaluating social impact projects for vulnerable groups, such as refugees and asylum seekers, would be well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this process not only helps expand the reach of such enterprises but also enables them to contribute to critical social programmes funded by the European Commission. ## Notice AVAIL (Amplifying the Voices of Asylum Seekers and Refugees for Integration and Life Skills) aims to create routes in which people with lived experience as refugees and asylum seekers (RAS) can have an impact at different levels - services, strategy and policy, and broader society. It is built on the principles of coproduction and participation and brings together four diverse states along the European migration route - Latvia and Italy (transit countries), and the UK and Ireland (destination countries) over a two-year period in each country we will explore and learn from different ways of involving people with lived experience. AVAIL is a partnership between the British Red Cross partner Red Cross Societies in Italy, Ireland, and Latvia and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent societies (ICRC) it is funded by the European commission. The British Red Cross (BRC) is recruiting for an independent evaluator to assess the overall impact of the AVAIL programme. This role will coordinate closely with the AVAIL Research Officer, who manages the overall day-to-day monitoring and evaluation of the project. Please see the attached RFQ for more information. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f007630b-aa09-411b-b33d-8f2a7ca72053 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Aug 2018 | | Submission deadline | 3 Sep 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 27 Sep 2018 - 31 Jan 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRITISH RED CROSS | | Locality | PAISLEY | | Post town | Paisley | | Postcode | PA1 1EA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM33 Inverclyde, East Renfrewshire, and Renfrewshire | | Local authority | Renfrewshire | | Electoral ward | Paisley East and Central | | Westminster constituency | Paisley and Renfrewshire South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73430000 - Test and evaluation - 79419000 - Evaluation consultancy services ## Release History - 7 Aug 2018 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f007630b-aa09-411b-b33d-8f2a7ca72053 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f007630b-aa09-411b-b33d-8f2a7ca72053 7th August 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG155131 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.redcross.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
