This tender falls under the services sector, specifically focusing on research and development consultancy services. The procurement process is at the Tender stage, with submissions due by 25th August 2017. The projects are expected to be completed by the end of January 2018, with final reports due on 15th February 2018. The tender has a budget range of £20,000 to £100,000 and the contract will start on 15th September 2017 and end on 15th February 2018, with delivery addresses located in London (SW1P 4DF). This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses engaged in research and development, particularly those specialising in innovative methodologies to analyse online content related to terrorism and extremism. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary or community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly suited to compete for this contract due to its focus on innovative and novel research approaches. This tender encourages a range of methods, offering a great chance for businesses with expertise in digital analysis, social sciences, and related fields to expand their impact and portfolio by collaborating with a key governmental body. ## Notice The Home Office is seeking to fund a number of small innovative research projects (preferably ranging from PS20k - PS50k) in order to better understand; where terrorist and extremist material appears online, how users are directed to it, and in what context it appears. Specifically we aim to establish a stronger evidence base on how terrorist and extremist content is shared, where it appears, and how users are directed to it. This includes building a deeper understanding of how groups utilise non-extreme content e.g. that of the mainstream media, to deliver their message. It is expected that projects will need to be completed by the end of January 2018, and that final reports will be delivered by 15th February 2018. We are keen for research proposals to be innovative and novel; however we will also consider research projects that employ more traditional methodologies (e.g. surveys or interviews). Responses to this Invitation To Tender will be evaluated by Home Office research and policy officials and Commercial Directorate.
