This procurement falls under the research and development services category and is classified by the CPV code 73000000. The tender is currently in the open stage, with submissions due by 17 July 2020. The anticipated contract period is from 27 July 2020 to 31 January 2021, with a contract value ranging from £25,000 to £50,000. The project will take place in London. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in research and consultancy services to contribute valuable insights into the operational adjustments made during the pandemic. Companies with expertise in educational systems, social care, and community support mechanisms would be particularly well-placed to participate and potentially grow their business through this engagement with local government initiatives aiming to improve future service delivery. ## Notice The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly changed the ways in which councils provide support to vulnerable children and families, and the ways in which they work with schools. All schools, including academies and free schools, have been encouraged to work with councils to continue to support children and young people, particularly those considered to be vulnerable and the children of key workers. Meanwhile, family support and child safeguarding processes have had to be adapted to retain oversight of children and keep them safe even while face to face visits have been limited and support services have changed or halted altogether. We would like this project to develop a narrative of how this has worked in practice and go on to make recommendations as to how the experiences of councils and schools in responding to the crisis can help education and children's social care systems work more effectively in the future. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/59fb6985-bd99-43fa-957e-b2e567d4c9de | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Jun 2020 | | Submission deadline | 17 Jul 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 26 Jul 2020 - 31 Jan 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | 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 | LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3HZ | | 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 | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 23 Jun 2020 at 08:40 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/59fb6985-bd99-43fa-957e-b2e567d4c9de ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/59fb6985-bd99-43fa-957e-b2e567d4c9de 23rd June 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-Understanding-and-learning-from-responses-to-the-Covid-19-lockdown/892R5979G3 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
