This independent project, led by the Social Mobility Commission (SMC), is aimed at monitoring and promoting social mobility across the UK, with a particular focus this year on Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The tender, classified under market and economic research, is at the planning stage and will be open until 20th January 2021, with the contract period commencing on 1st February 2021 and concluding on 31st March 2021. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialised in statistical analysis, particularly those with expertise in social mobility, educational attainment, and socioeconomic research. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the project seeks innovative and detailed insights that will contribute to the comprehensive evaluation of social mobility in the UK. Engaging in this contract could enhance your business’s visibility and influence in shaping future social policies. ## Notice The Social Mobility Commission (SMC) monitors progress towards improving social mobility in the UK and promotes social mobility in England. It is an independent statutory body created by an Act of Parliament and is sponsored by the Department for Education. As part of its remit the Commission undertakes an annual State of the Nation report each year. This report is part of the Commission's statutory duty to monitor UK-wide progress on social mobility each year, and will be published by 31st March 2021. The production and synthesis of key statistics related to social mobility is a core part of this report, in order to track progress on both social mobility outcomes (such as the make-up of the labour force by socioeconomic background), and drivers of social mobility across the life-course (such as educational attainment and child poverty). The Commission is seeking a supplier to provide new and insightful analysis on key statistics for inclusion in our State of the Nation report this year. The successful supplier will collate these statistics and work with our internal report team to interpret and build a narrative around these figures for this year's report. This year we want to put more focus on the synthesis, analysis and critique of social mobility in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland than we have in previous reports. The report will therefore be structured with an opening chapter summarising the key social mobility statistics that you produce, followed by four chapters each covering social mobility policy in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland in detail. The insights from your statistical analysis will form the first chapter, and further relevant analyses covering the four nations will be included in the subsequent country-specific chapters. https://education.app.jaggaer.com/ Additional information: To access tender documents the please use the link below and register to register for the opportunity. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4f3f04b-19c3-458e-ae6c-76ade83e9e99 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Dec 2020 | | Submission deadline | 20 Jan 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2021 - 31 Mar 2021 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION | | Locality | WESTMINSTER | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3BT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79300000 - Market and economic research; polling and statistics ## Release History - 23 Dec 2020 at 10:10 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4f3f04b-19c3-458e-ae6c-76ade83e9e99 - 1 Dec 2020 at 16:38 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4f3f04b-19c3-458e-ae6c-76ade83e9e99 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4f3f04b-19c3-458e-ae6c-76ade83e9e99 23rd December 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://education.app.jaggaer.com/ To register ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
