## Summary

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport is planning a procurement titled "Evidence and Learning Lead for Tackling Loneliness," aimed at commissioning a variety of research and consultancy services, valued at £2.5 million. The procurement is categorised under research and development services and is set to take place from April 1, 2020, to April 1, 2025. The planned procurement notice was published on January 9, 2020, and the process will follow an open procurement method, making it accessible to a wider range of bidders as it exceeds the threshold for competition.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in research and consultancy, particularly those focused on social issues such as loneliness. Companies with capabilities in stakeholder engagement, data analysis, and policy implementation would be well-positioned to compete, especially if they can demonstrate expertise in delivering impactful social research. Furthermore, this process encourages participation from larger organisations with the capacity to manage substantial budgets, thereby creating avenues for collaboration and business growth.

## Notice

The Office for Civil Society within DCMS is seeking market interest in the commissioning of a range of research and consultancy services to support the key policy objective of tackling loneliness.
