This tender falls under the category of research and development services, specifically aimed at understanding the pandemic's effects on the physical and mental health of residents across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. The procurement is in the active stage, with a tender period ending on 9 December 2021, and the contract slated to commence on 20 December 2021, concluding on 31 March 2022. The total estimated value for this project is £40,000, and it will employ an open procedure for procuring bids. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in research services, particularly those with expertise in quantitative analysis, public health, and community surveys. Organisations specialising in social science research, especially those that can offer innovative methodologies for capturing and analysing data related to health impacts, socio-economic factors, and community resilience, would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, since the scope targets understanding the effects on various population segments, businesses with a strong commitment to inclusivity and community engagement may find this a valuable opportunity to expand their service offerings within the public sector. ## Notice This qualitative research project aims to understand the impact of the pandemic on individuals' lifestyles, their physical and mental health. For example, it is thought that the pandemic has resulted in an increase in the number of people suffering from anxiety and/or depression. There have also been many physical health impacts with an estimated 1 in 5 people who had been infected with COVID-19 experiencing persistent ill health following the acute phase of infection. In order to inform future services, this qualitative research is needed to understand the impact of the pandemic, COVID-19 and long-covid on those living across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly (IoS). This includes both the physical and mental health impacts of the pandemic, as well as wider issues such as those associated with social isolation and other socio-economic impacts, including those who have been adversely affected and individuals who have long-covid (e.g. loss of education, training and employment. Understanding the short and long-term understanding on the pandemic across communities, will be achieved by undertaking qualitative research across twelve different population groups. These include: including key workers; long-covid patients; those with a physical and/or sensory impairment; children and young people (including families); older people (65+ years) including impact of social isolation / digital exclusion; those with a mild/moderate to a serious mental health diagnosis; paid and unpaid carers; different minority ethnic groups (e.g. gypsy roma, Eastern European and BAME); Veterans; those experiencing issues with substance misuse, Homeless and those who have experienced domestic violence. To inform local service provision, the results of this qualitative research will be compared against other local intelligence such as a representative quantitative resident and long-covid survey, which is being undertaken by the Public Health team at Cornwall Council. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3725b9dc-937a-4c0d-91d0-95d0d9d392d0 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | 9 Dec 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 Dec 2021 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £45,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CORNWALL COUNCIL | | Locality | TRURO | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR1 3AY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Truro Boscawen & Redannick | | Westminster constituency | Truro and Falmouth | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 30 Nov 2021 at 13:53 - TenderCancellation - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3725b9dc-937a-4c0d-91d0-95d0d9d392d0 - 25 Nov 2021 at 14:38 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e7bbf003-be2b-4a90-8b93-4d1919b526b0 - 25 Nov 2021 at 14:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dace23ed-5b2d-4c56-ba0c-6231a83a270b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3725b9dc-937a-4c0d-91d0-95d0d9d392d0 30th November 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e7bbf003-be2b-4a90-8b93-4d1919b526b0 25th November 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dace23ed-5b2d-4c56-ba0c-6231a83a270b 25th November 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.cornwall.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
