This tender is classified under research and development consultancy services, with a total contract value of £100,000, of which individual projects are expected to range between £20,000 and £50,000. The tender period is set to close on 24 August 2017, while the contract period runs from 15 September 2017 to 15 February 2018. Final project reports must be submitted by 15 February 2018. This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in innovative research methodologies, particularly those aimed at counteracting online extremism. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the Home Office is looking for novel research projects that can effectively disrupt the distribution of extremist content online. Businesses that can offer creative solutions, backed by robust evidence, will find this tender aligns well with their services and capabilities. ## Notice The Home Office is seeking to fund a number of small innovative research projects (preferably ranging from PS20k - PS50k) in order to better understand how to most effectively disrupt terrorist and extremist material online, and invite research partners to submit proposals/bids which meet the aim of this tender. Specifically we aim to establish a stronger evidence base on how terrorist and extremist content can be stopped from ever being distributed, using innovative means of disruption. Additionally, we want to know how best to support and safeguard smaller platforms, which may include developing different forms of guidance. It is expected that projects will need to be completed by the end of January 2018, and that final reports will be delivered by 15th February 2018. We are keen for research proposals to be innovative and novel; however we will also consider research projects that employ more traditional methodologies (e.g. surveys or interviews). Responses to this Invitation To Tender will be evaluated by Home Office research and policy officials and Commercial Directorate. Further details can be found within the attached tender documentation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9ef46607-3d99-4291-9725-a77525b1be0c | | 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 | 23 Aug 2017 | | Submission deadline | 24 Aug 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 Sep 2017 - 15 Feb 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 | HOME OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | 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 - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development ## Release History - 23 Aug 2017 at 11:20 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9ef46607-3d99-4291-9725-a77525b1be0c - 17 Aug 2017 at 13:38 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9ef46607-3d99-4291-9725-a77525b1be0c - 17 Aug 2017 at 11:35 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9ef46607-3d99-4291-9725-a77525b1be0c - 17 Aug 2017 at 10:25 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9ef46607-3d99-4291-9725-a77525b1be0c - 28 Jul 2017 at 10:25 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9ef46607-3d99-4291-9725-a77525b1be0c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9ef46607-3d99-4291-9725-a77525b1be0c 23rd August 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/12e3e75b-9d69-490b-997f-215146d987b9 Attachment 1 - Invite and Instructions on Tendering - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f8954f5a-554d-4e6b-8938-2915a7798cd4 Attachment 2 - Evaluation Spec - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6633fa02-6f7b-4d82-a3ea-851aad79e54b Attachment 3 - Commercial Questionnaire - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0d7ea49c-5bf0-46a0-a7be-1f1e5055ff41 Attachment 4 - Pricing Matrix - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/73042b06-21f4-460e-9806-8adcccf37630 Attachment 5 - Technical Questionnaire - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/19b69257-2300-4565-a5bb-5f235cdd9280 Attachment 6 - Terms and Conditions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/53cb282c-83d7-4b40-b0fb-8adf8f591ebe Attachment 7 - Certificate of Bona Fide Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/820c4643-5895-42c7-b38c-f74af38482c3 Attachment 8 - Form of Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/92b1c568-45e1-4ff4-884b-8d9f5f13a45f Clarification Questions 1 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2552150a-ac4a-419c-b446-9f166af9b580 Clarification Questions 2 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
