The total value of the contract is £33,000, and the anticipated contract duration begins on 1st November 2017 and runs until 28th February 2018. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand in the public sector, particularly those with expertise in research and consultancy focused on social mobility and education. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially well-suited to compete for this contract, as the procurement indicates suitability for SMEs. Businesses that can collaborate with educational institutions and local authorities to provide insight and innovative solutions to social challenges in Blackpool will be advantageous contenders. ## Notice Twelve Opportunity Areas have been identified in England to tackle social mobility. Blackpool has been identified as one of these areas based on the Social Mobility Commission's social mobility index and education data. A local partnership has been formed with early years providers, schools, colleges, the Local Enterprise Partnership, businesses, charities and local authority to ensure all children have the opportunity to reach their full potential. A key aim of Opportunity Areas is to build young people's knowledge and skills and provide them with the best advice and opportunities, including working with organisations such as the Careers and Enterprise Company, the Confederation of British Industry, the Federation of Small Businesses, and the National Citizen Service. The Department for Education (DfE) will target its programmes to ensure children get the best start in the early years, to build teaching and leadership capacity in schools, to increase access to university, to strengthen technical pathways for young people, and work with employers to improve young people's access to the right advice and experiences. An emerging theme from a consultation with stakeholders was the need for a town wide assessment of the root causes of the social mobility issues in Blackpool. Stakeholders suggested a diagnostic of this nature, if done correctly, could help shape the nature of interventions in Blackpool. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f3954b86-dd37-43e0-9483-91f1759f3956 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Sep 2017 | | Submission deadline | 11 Oct 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2017 - 28 Feb 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £33,000 | | 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 | BLACKPOOL COUNCIL | | Locality | BLACKPOOL | | Post town | Blackpool | | Postcode | FY1 1NA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD42 Blackpool | | Local authority | Blackpool | | Electoral ward | Talbot | | Westminster constituency | Blackpool South | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services ## Release History - 21 Sep 2017 at 08:56 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f3954b86-dd37-43e0-9483-91f1759f3956 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f3954b86-dd37-43e0-9483-91f1759f3956 21st September 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/ Blackpool Town Wide Assessment of data ## Notice URLs - http://www.blackpool.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
