This active tender, initiated through an open procedure, is currently in the tender stage with a deadline for submissions set for 27th November 2018. The anticipated contract period begins on 1st March 2019 and concludes on 28th February 2020. The project will encompass various regions across the UK, including Northern Ireland, and is valued at £100,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for companies involved in research, consultancy, and advocacy related to disability issues, particularly those that focus on inclusion and representation. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete, given the emphasis on identifying and engaging underrepresented groups within the disabled community. Businesses with expertise in community outreach, policy analysis, and innovative consultation strategies will likely find this tender aligns with their capabilities and mission. ## Notice The DRILL Programme to date has highlighted that there are specific groups or communities of disabled people who are not being heard. We would like to find out why, and if possible, what can be done to reach, include and strengthen the voices of such groups of disabled people in policy debates. We would then like the project to identify the implications for Disabled People's Organisations (DPOs) and whether there are things they can do, or do differently, to include more disabled people in their organisations and activities. The DRILL Programme covers all four Nations in the UK. We would like to see an element of the research looking at the similarities or differences across the Nations. The issues and solutions you identify may require a different approach, or a unified one, which should be considered as part of your proposal. Please note, date for questions has been extended to the 9th October 2018 (12 noon).
