This tender falls under the market research services category and is located in the United Kingdom. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with the contract period set to commence on 2nd March 2020 and lasting for six months, including an option for a six-month extension. The total value of the contract is £30,000, and the deadline for tender submissions was on 4th February 2020. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for SMEs specialising in market research, community development, or social sciences to grow their business by contributing to a significant study aimed at understanding community dynamics. Businesses that can provide in-depth secondary research and insightful analysis on factors enabling communities to thrive will be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this project could position these businesses as thought leaders in their field while fostering relationships with a prominent funding organisation. ## Notice The National Lottery Community Fund (the 'Fund') is seeking to procure a suitable supplier for the provision of research to further develop our understanding about what enables communities to thrive. This Invitation to Tender sets out the context for this work and the services required. In spring/summer 2019 we commissioned an initial piece of research to review the evidence about what works to enable communities to thrive (see here for full report: https://www.tnlcommunityfund.org.uk/media/insights/documents/Understanding-Thriving- Communities.pdf?mtime=20191218130904). We are now commissioning a second project to build on that research, adding further contextual information and additional sense-making. This project will include the following: 1. Synthesis of existing models and theories to map the components of a thriving community. This will contextualise the model that we have created (attached in the technical envelope on the e-tendering site), which focuses on how our funding contributes to thriving communities. 2. Systematic review of secondary evidence about what contextual factors enable a community to thrive - building on the first report, which focused more on interventions, to consider wider contextual factors such as the economy, diversity, transport etc. This will help with sense-making and enable the evidence to be acted upon. 3. Carry out more in-depth secondary research on agreed areas of interest from the existing report, producing engaging thematic summaries of the evidence to be shared internally and externally. Areas of focus will be co-produced by the Fund and the successful bidder, but are likely to include participation, volunteering and community hubs.
