This initiative falls under the research and development services category and aims to investigate how Children's Social Care (CSC) services manage cases of radicalisation among young people under the age of 18. The procurement process, which uses an open procedure and is valued at £20,000, was published on 6th August 2020, with a deadline for EOIs set for 9am on 18th August 2020. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 22nd September 2020 and conclude on 31st March 2021, with delivery expected to take place within the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses focused on research and consultancy within the child protection and social care sectors. Companies specialising in social work training, consultancy on radicalisation prevention, and those providing innovative solutions for children at risk will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Engaging in this project could not only enhance a firm's visibility within government contracting but also contribute to vital improvements in CSC practices across local authorities. ## Notice Expressions of interest (EOIs) are sought to investigate and review our understanding of how Children's Social Care (CSC) services are managing cases of radicalisation or extremism amongst young people aged under 18. We wish to better understand the challenges that social workers and others in the CSC sector face, and the practice they have developed in their approach to such cases. Importantly, the project will explore what local authorities are doing when cases of radicalisation and extremism amongst young people do arise, and which systems and practices seem to be the most effective in mitigating the risks. This includes best approaches on reducing a child's engagement with negative influencers online and effective methods to diverting a child away from further engaging in terrorist activity. This will be used to inform learning across the sector and support cross-government work to improve the consistency of social work responses to radicalisation cases. This includes supporting the enhancement of existing training packages, as well as the development of new CPD. Please see the EOI advert in Attachments for further details. The deadline for submissions of an EOI is 9am Tuesday 18th August 2020 Additional information: Please note the deadline for EOI submissions is 9am Tuesday 18th August 2020 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/23b83eba-df93-495d-bab4-27ddf60c17cb | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Nov 2020 | | Submission deadline | 18 Aug 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 6 Oct 2020 | | Contract period | 12 Oct 2020 - 14 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £19,292 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 2FJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CORDIS BRIGHT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 4 Nov 2020 at 16:31 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/23b83eba-df93-495d-bab4-27ddf60c17cb - 6 Aug 2020 at 11:02 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9dadbb1b-9c64-41dd-a387-7ceebc032971 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/23b83eba-df93-495d-bab4-27ddf60c17cb 4th November 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9dadbb1b-9c64-41dd-a387-7ceebc032971 6th August 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/fad67bea-68c5-4802-84ba-e91ef2629626 EOI Advert DFERPPU 20-21/018 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7bd0d207-ca5b-4923-a26a-c58c557e22a0 EOI reply form - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/555430fb-4c46-4610-82a1-cadc9d6f1791 T&Cs - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/SupplierAttachment/6f9702d0-3930-44a2-ba71-2d2e7a46536e Redacted contract DFERPPU/20-21/018 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
