This tender falls within the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services, with a focus on health and social work services. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, and an engagement deadline is set for 21st September 2020. Organisations interested in this tender must register on the Department for Education's e-procurement system, Redimo, and apply to become part of the Education and Children's Social Care Dynamic Purchasing System under specified category codes. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in research, consultancy, and evaluation within the child safeguarding sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the assessment criteria likely favour innovative and agile approaches. Participating organisations will have the chance to contribute to critical national thematic reviews, literature analyses, and the provision of specialist expertise that supports the safeguarding of vulnerable children. ## Notice The National Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel was established in July 2018 to improve professional practice across the multi-agency safeguarding system by sharing learning from reviews of serious child safeguarding cases. The panel has its own statutory powers and is independent of government but receives government funding. A pre-selected pool of reviewers assists the Panel to conduct its reviews, undertaking the fieldwork and analysis required to identify learning which can improve practice. DfE intend to run a procurement exercise in September 2020 to refresh and expand the pool of reviewers. The pool of reviewers will be used to provide the following for the panel: * National thematic reviews of complex cases (both multiple and single case reviews) * Literature reviews to support national reviews * Thematic reviews of serious incident notifications and rapid reviews to identify areas for future national reviews * Meta-analysis of multiple reports and reviews * Deep dives * Specialist expertise to support the Panel in its functions and national reviews The competition will be advertised through the Department for Education's e-procurement system, Redimo. To be considered for this opportunity, you must register on Redimo and additionally apply to become a member of the Education and Children's Social Care Dynamic Purchasing System (ECSC DPS) under category codes "ECSC05 Evaluator" and "ECSC11 Researcher". Guidance on completing these steps are available via the attachments area. You will not be invited to the competition if you are not registered on the ECSC DPS under the correct category codes. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9b82ebc3-b91e-4681-adb7-4eaaece8b340 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Aug 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 21 Sep 2020 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 2JF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 26 Aug 2020 at 13:29 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9b82ebc3-b91e-4681-adb7-4eaaece8b340 - 24 Aug 2020 at 10:59 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9b82ebc3-b91e-4681-adb7-4eaaece8b340 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9b82ebc3-b91e-4681-adb7-4eaaece8b340 26th August 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/539fb7c8-5ae5-4a21-9d3a-01a99c30ecc6 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4f7409f4-e211-4d01-8054-d09385f0b07c - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/db987548-9c78-4581-ad0b-fabda89bbfec - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-education/about/procurement#redimo2 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
