Action For Children, a leading children's charity based in Watford, ENG, is seeking research services for a project titled "Research Services - A Pathway to Ending Child Poverty". The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender period ending on 31st May 2024. The contract period is scheduled to run from 17th June 2024 to 31st October 2024. The procurement is classified under the services category, specifically within research services, economic research services, and social research services. This tender opportunity by Action For Children offers a chance for economic research consultancies to partner with a renowned charity to propose strategies to address child poverty. Businesses specializing in research services, economic consultancy, and social research are well-suited to compete for this tender. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the suitability criteria favour them. The project aims to develop a blueprint for potential government initiatives to combat child poverty, providing an impactful opportunity for businesses to contribute to a social cause while growing their operations in the research services sector. ## Notice Action for Children is a leading children's charity. In the last year, we worked with over 600,000 children, young people and families across more than 500 services, ranging from children's centres and family support to fostering and adoption. Many of those we support are struggling on a low-income. We often hear from frontline staff that families and young people they support can't afford the essentials, that benefit rates are too low, and that rising levels of hardship is getting in the way of service delivery. Poverty harms childhoods and damages children's life chances, but politicians do not have a proper strategy to tackle it. Work is often described as the best route out of poverty, but many of the families we support face complex barriers to employment. We are looking to partner with an economic research consultancy to set out a potential blueprint for change for a future government to meet some ambitious targets on child poverty. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b8d2ef53-46f0-4981-beaa-d532c2835c06 | | 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 | 3 May 2024 | | Submission deadline | 31 May 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 16 Jun 2024 - 31 Oct 2024 | | 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 | ACTION FOR CHILDREN | | Locality | WATFORD | | Post town | Watford | | Postcode | WD18 8AG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH27 South West Hertfordshire | | Local authority | Watford | | Electoral ward | Holywell | | Westminster constituency | Watford | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 79311400 - Economic research services - 79315000 - Social research services ## Release History - 3 May 2024 at 12:37 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b8d2ef53-46f0-4981-beaa-d532c2835c06 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b8d2ef53-46f0-4981-beaa-d532c2835c06 3rd May 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=81216&B=AFC Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/154641 User / Company ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
