This procurement, falling under the research and development services category, aims to deliver activities that enhance understanding of necessary support within the Climate Action Fund during its second phase. The tender period will close on 4 March 2021, with the contract expected to commence on 31 May 2021 and conclude on 30 May 2023. The procurement method is open, allowing for a wider range of suppliers to participate. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research and development services, particularly those with a focus on support, consultancy, and educational initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations that can develop effective peer networks and share valuable learning experiences are particularly encouraged to apply. Engaging in this contract may facilitate growth and enhance reputation within the public sector for competing businesses. ## Notice The Fund is seeking to appoint a supplier (an individual organisation or a partnership with a lead supplier) to deliver activities that will build our understanding of what is required in the remaining timeframe of the CAF (Phase Two), at the same time as generating some early learning from the initial cohorts of CAF projects(Phase One). Objectives We anticipate the Support & Learning supplier will work to achieve the following three objectives. The objectives may be refined with the Fund (and with suppliers of the two other focus areas outlined in this tender) early in the contract to minimise duplication, ensure feasibility, take into account alternative innovative approaches proposed, and/or ensure they meet the needs of stakeholders. 1. To build a stronger and more connected peer network across grant-holders and their wider partners 2. To facilitate and support projects to identify and share their early learning 3. To build our understanding of what is required to generate credible programme-wide evidence over time across Phase Two ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/68c69186-732d-45d6-b23a-15d9741ae82f | | 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 | 25 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | 15 Mar 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 May 2021 - 30 May 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £180,000 | | 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 | BIG LOTTERY FUND, OPERATING AS THE NATIONAL LOTTERY COMMUNITY FUND | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC4A 1DE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | City of London | | Electoral ward | Castle Baynard | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | 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 - 73100000 - Research and experimental development services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development ## Release History - 25 Feb 2021 at 15:17 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/68c69186-732d-45d6-b23a-15d9741ae82f - 10 Feb 2021 at 15:54 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/68c69186-732d-45d6-b23a-15d9741ae82f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/68c69186-732d-45d6-b23a-15d9741ae82f 25th February 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://tnlcommunityfund.bravosolution.co.uk Link to eSourcing Portal ## Notice URLs - https://www.tnlcommunityfund.org.uk/about/customer-service/supplier-zone ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
