## Summary

The South Downs National Park Authority has completed the procurement process for the "Volunteering Audit 2024" under the industry category of Research Consultancy Services. The contract was awarded to Tourism South East - TSE Research, with a total value of £9,780. The open procedure tender was closed on 5th November 2024, and the contract period is set from 6th January 2025 to 14th March 2025. This research initiative aims to assess the impact of the pandemic on volunteering activities within the South Downs National Park, following previous surveys conducted in 2012, 2015, and 2019.

This procurement process offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research consultancy services, particularly those with experience in conducting surveys and impact assessments. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) were particularly encouraged to apply, reflecting an emphasis on inclusivity and support for smaller organisations. The project requires expertise in data collection and analysis, ideal for businesses aiming to expand their portfolio in the public sector research domain. The contract also highlights the importance of adaptability to pandemic-related changes, underlining the value of current and responsive research capabilities.

## 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.
