This project, set to replace the previous "MPs and Elected Representatives Survey," aims to gather insights into elected representatives' awareness and perceptions of the Fund, influencing key performance indicators and engagement strategies. The tender, classified under research and development services (CPV: 73000000), invites bids until 8th September 2025, with the contract period beginning on 29th September 2025 and concluding on 28th September 2028. The scope spans multiple regions including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and Europe. This tender offers a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in research and development, particularly those with experience in public sector engagement and consultancy. Despite being unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, larger firms can leverage this project to expand their portfolio of services within the government and non-profit sectors. The project will serve as a significant reference for future business development, potentially increasing influence and opening doors to further public sector contracts. Companies with expertise in political consultancy and strategic communications will find themselves well-positioned to succeed in this tender process. ## Notice The Fund is a UK-wide organisation that delivers funding through five main portfolios: England, Scotland, Wales, Northern-Ireland, and UK-wide. The Fund's Strategic Analysis team are developing a new piece of research with one of our key stakeholder groups, elected representatives from across the United Kingdom (MPs, MSPs, MLAs, and MSs). This will be a re-designed piece of research to replace the previous piece (the "MPs and Elected Representatives Survey"), the contract for which has recently expired. The primary objective of the new research is to capture data about elected representatives' perceptions and awareness of the Fund, data which will be used to inform one of our corporate KPIs (KPI 6: "More than 50% of elected members are aware that the Fund supports good causes thanks to the National Lottery"). The research will also be used to measure the effectiveness of our engagement and advocacy approach with elected representatives. Data will be used to inform portfolio level business planning and engagement strategies. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d8c335a7-4227-45c8-b3a3-ed158d378fa8 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Aug 2025 | | Submission deadline | 8 Sep 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 28 Sep 2025 - 28 Sep 2028 | | 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 | THE NATIONAL LOTTERY COMMUNITY FUND | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B15 1TR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Edgbaston | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Edgbaston | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 20 Aug 2025 at 16:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d8c335a7-4227-45c8-b3a3-ed158d378fa8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d8c335a7-4227-45c8-b3a3-ed158d378fa8 20th August 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=97279&B=TNLCOMMUNITYFUND Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/157826 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.tnlcommunityfund.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
