This procurement falls under the research and development services category, with a tender period ending on 11th January 2017. The contract is anticipated to commence on 13th January 2017 and run until 23rd March 2017. The procurement method is an open procedure, with delivery addresses located in London, England, specifically at SW1P 4DF. This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in research and development services, particularly those with experience in creating user-tested tools and consultancy services aimed at enhancing national responses to online CSE. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, indicating a focus on fostering innovation and collaboration within the industry. Companies that are adept at working with governmental entities and have expertise in technology-driven solutions for social issues would be well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice Online child sexual exploitation (CSE) is a global crime requiring a coordinated global response by governments, the technology industry and civil society. The WePROTECT Global Alliance is the international initiative brought together by the UK to tackle this crime. The strategic direction and objectives of WePROTECT Global Alliance were set out in our published strategy of July 2016 (www.weprotect.org/strategylaunch). The WePROTECT Global Alliance Model National Response (the Model) is the first globally available tool by which countries can assess their current approach and the capabilities they need to deliver a genuinely comprehensive approach, by combining the work of all national stakeholders in the areas of policy and governance, law enforcement, societal responses, victim care, industry and the media. In addition to supporting countries directly, the Model is used to prioritise and assess bids for capacity building by the Fund to End Violence Against Children, to which the UK has donated PS40 million. Countries signed up to the WePROTECT Global Alliance have committed to develop and report biennially on their progress towards developing a comprehensive national response to online CSE. To help them achieve this we are, therefore, now seeking to develop a self-assessment tool, which will be aligned to the existing MNR guidance document. This will enable countries to undertake their self-assessments and identify the capability gaps they need to fill. We are looking to procure a service provider who will develop a rigorous, user tested and globally applicable self-assessment tool. The service providers will be expected to work collaboratively with the WePROTECT Global Alliance secretariat. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4dcf009f-6f7e-46c1-a286-a19a2180aefa | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Dec 2016 | | Submission deadline | 11 Jan 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 13 Jan 2017 - 23 Mar 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | HOME OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | 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 | St James's | | 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 ## Release History - 20 Dec 2016 at 12:10 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4dcf009f-6f7e-46c1-a286-a19a2180aefa ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4dcf009f-6f7e-46c1-a286-a19a2180aefa 20th December 2016 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/69b51507-155c-4e63-a610-0ecb158e1630 Invitation to Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/12a79730-ad83-4e66-85bc-3cef3fe488d5 Statement of Requirements - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/08f84f08-67f3-48b9-b92a-2f1f1acb8c9b Commercial Questionaire - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a108cbb3-186c-4624-8e4a-1963bed6ec03 Tenderer Certificate ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
