This tender involves a review of organisations delivering volunteering opportunities within the South Downs National Park (SDNP). Previously conducted in 2012, 2015, and 2019, the survey aims to assess the impact of the pandemic on volunteering. The procurement falls under the industry category of Research Consultancy Services (CPV 73210000). The process is in the Tender stage, with an open procedure (below threshold). Key dates include the tender period ending on 5th November 2024, and the contract period from 6th January 2025 to 14th March 2025. The project location is primarily in South East England, with delivery addresses including GU29 9DH. The procurement value is estimated between £8,000 and £10,000 GBP. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research consultancy services, especially those familiar with social research or volunteer management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate. Engaging in this project will enhance business visibility and contribute to understanding and improving volunteer engagement within the region. Suitable businesses will benefit from both the monetary value of the contract and the chance to foster ongoing relationships with the South Downs National Park Authority. ## Notice A review of organisations delivering volunteering opportunities in the SDNP was first undertaken in 2012 with the finding that over 91,000 days of volunteering activity was occurring annually. We followed this up with surveys in 2015 and 2019. We are keen to repeat this survey and, in addition, to find out how the pandemic has impacted volunteering across the SDNP.
