This tender is currently at the active stage of procurement, with an open procedure method, allowing any interested parties to participate. The tender period will close on 7 December 2018, and the contract is set to commence on 20 December 2018, lasting until 20 March 2019. Responses must be submitted before the deadline for consideration, with potential opportunities for service improvement being a key aim of this evaluation. This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialised in evaluation consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in health and social care assessments. Businesses that can demonstrate methods for measuring project outcomes, cost savings, and process evaluations should find this tender highly relevant. Engaging in this contract could not only lead to direct business growth but also establish long-term relationships with the British Red Cross and potentially other partners in the health sector. ## Notice The overarching aim of the evaluation is to understand the impact of the service, both to help drive continuous service improvement, and provide a summary of this impact to help support in reaching out to future partners and funders. The evaluation should focus on the period where the project was funded by the Khoo Teck UK foundation between October 2015 and August 2018. Data is available to assess this period from September 2015 to date, although the evaluation should take into account information from other periods where relevant. It is expected any evaluation will assess how well the programme achieved the different core project outcomes, as well as the overall impact to service users and how delivery of the service can evidence cost savings within the Health & Social Care system and return on investment. BRC would also be interested in evaluations that contained elements of process evaluation identifying whether the service was delivered as intended, and how the team worked on the ground. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/244b533f-a456-4cbb-81a9-de1a85ad422c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Nov 2018 | | Submission deadline | 7 Dec 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 Dec 2018 - 20 Mar 2019 | | 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 - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79419000 - Evaluation consultancy services ## Release History - 20 Nov 2018 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/244b533f-a456-4cbb-81a9-de1a85ad422c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/244b533f-a456-4cbb-81a9-de1a85ad422c 20th November 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV155932 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.
