This tender, classified under the social work and related services category (CPV: 85300000), is based in London and is in the active planning stage. The tender period is set to close on 3rd May 2019, with a contract period commencing on 3rd June 2019 and running until 31st March 2020. The project has a budget ranging from £50,000 to £100,000 and follows an open procurement method. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in social research and public health studies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary/community sector organisations. Companies specialised in evaluating the links between health and social mobility will find this project particularly relevant. Engaging with this procurement process can help such businesses enhance their credibility, expand their portfolio, and foster collaboration with prominent public sector entities. ## Notice The relationship between poor health and disadvantage is well established. However, there is little evidence of the impact of poor physical health on social mobility. It is often assumed that poor health would be a barrier to social mobility but there is currently no evidence to confirm this. The Social Mobility Commission is inviting proposals to undertake a study into the relationship between poor health and social mobility. This research forms part of the Social Mobility Commission's role to produce relevant research that provides new data and insights on social mobility in the UK. There are a range of ailments that can lead to someone being defined as in 'poor health'. The research will investigate different types of ailments and their impact on social mobility, whether they are linked to a lack of upward mobility or even linked to downward mobility, and whether there is a causal relationship. The research will investigate the different strategies adopted in different regions to reduce ill-health and whether these have impacted upon social mobility. This work compliments a similar project for which we are inviting proposals regarding social mobility and mental health. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ecfae229-36be-4aba-87b6-d23506e163da | | 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 | 26 Apr 2019 | | Submission deadline | 3 May 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Jun 2019 - 31 Mar 2020 | | 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 | DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION | | Locality | LONDON | | 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 - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85300000 - Social work and related services ## Release History - 26 Apr 2019 at 11:28 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ecfae229-36be-4aba-87b6-d23506e163da - 8 Apr 2019 at 09:50 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ecfae229-36be-4aba-87b6-d23506e163da ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ecfae229-36be-4aba-87b6-d23506e163da 26th April 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/16164ab1-b6d0-42a9-9a43-d0394f82245f Invitation to tender letter - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c93c26bf-751d-4e7c-a9b4-bb929222b54d Clarifications ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
