This procurement falls under the services category, specifically for market research services, with a total budget of £275,000. The procurement is currently at the Tender stage, with bids due by 23:59 on 16th July 2020. The selected contractor will be required to evaluate the ongoing Strengthening Delivery Programme and support local authorities in delivering the Armed Forces Covenant, with the contract period commencing on 14th August 2020 and concluding on 31st March 2022. This opportunity enables businesses to contribute to the development of resources that support local authorities in their delivery of the Armed Forces Covenant. Companies with expertise in evaluation and support services, particularly those that can produce digital toolkits, e-learning resources, and best practice guides, will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary/community sector organisations (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given their suitability for this project and the potential for growth and influence in local service delivery. ## Notice Under the Strengthening Delivery of the Covenant Programme ("Strengthening Delivery Programme"), theCovenant Fund awarded PS6.6 million to clusters of local authorities enabling them to take forward ideas fromstrategies developed by Local Covenant Partnerships, which sought to improve consistence in the deliveryof the Armed Forces Covenant Locally. An additional funding programme, the Empowering Delivery of theCovenant Programme ("Empowering Delivery Programme"), which follows directly from the earlier programme,will run in 2020/21. We are seeking to contract with a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to (a) evaluate the impact of theStrengthening Delivery Programme and review any learning from the Empowering Delivery Programme; and(b) provide support and development services to local authorities to enable them to deliver the Armed ForcesCovenant. The latter will require the contractor to produce a digital tool kit including e-learning tools, accessible training,best practice guides, case studies and other resources to help local authorities and other local public bodies toeffectively deliver the Covenant. This requires the Contractor to: (i) collate existing resources developed by local authorities under the Strengthening Delivery Programme, andconvert or adapt these resources as required for their inclusion in the Digital Toolkit; and (ii) identify and produce additional resources for the toolkit. This will require engagement with local authorities toidentify what resources are required. Further details are set out in the ITT. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1e0fe4f7-c329-41eb-8170-3ca2ad5461b0 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Jul 2020 | | Submission deadline | 16 Jul 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 13 Aug 2020 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £275,000 | | 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 | ARMED FORCES COVENANT FUND TRUSTEE LIMITED | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 2QT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | Vincent Square | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79310000 - Market research services ## Release History - 3 Jul 2020 at 15:02 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1e0fe4f7-c329-41eb-8170-3ca2ad5461b0 - 23 Jun 2020 at 15:18 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1e0fe4f7-c329-41eb-8170-3ca2ad5461b0 - 16 Jun 2020 at 10:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1e0fe4f7-c329-41eb-8170-3ca2ad5461b0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1e0fe4f7-c329-41eb-8170-3ca2ad5461b0 3rd July 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/91a3dc22-3c5c-4006-ba20-207e2e140356 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/41764651-7742-430b-882b-3d7e6d8b3aae - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/48e19916-5f11-4709-8ece-2b82ad535171 Clarification Document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4ed0741f-9a2b-4974-aec4-37635f6f41f9 Clarification Document 3 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
