The tender process is currently in the active stage, with bids closing on 17 April 2018. The selected contractor will be tasked with evaluating the project's impacts, which will take place in the North East and East areas of Sheffield. This procurement is classified under the research and development services and related consultancy services industry, with a contract duration commencing on 30 April 2018 and concluding on 30 April 2020. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in research, social evaluation, and community development services. Companies with experience in conducting social research, consultancy, or those that have worked with local councils on similar projects will be well-positioned to compete. The open procurement method encourages a wide range of small to medium enterprises (SMEs) to engage, making it an attractive opportunity for innovative businesses looking to contribute to community-based projects in the UK. ## Notice Summary Sheffield was successful in gaining government funding of PS835,000 from the Controlling Migration Fund in late 2017. Sheffield City Council is the lead partner. The funding is to fund a 2 year community development project in the NE and E of the city to tackle the impacts of recent migration. Part of this funding is to evaluate our work and our learning from the project as it develops and delivers during 2018 and 2019. Evaluation Requirements We want to use the evaluation funding to find a suitable academic organisation to be able to work with us to design an appropriate evaluation of this project from the start, during and afterwards. This means assisting us with the initial baseline measures to ensure we have robust baseline measures in place and also involves some monitoring during the project to ensure we collect suitable data along the way as well as a final evaluation writing a critique of the project at its conclusion. We will work with the successful evaluator to establish an independent and robust evaluation framework from the start of the project, with the opportunity for some smaller, interim assessments over the 2 years. We are aware that the baseline figures and success measures in our bid for CMF, outlined below, are open to critique and so we are looking for help in ensuring that these are appropriate and effective for measuring the success of our project. We will utilise the community development workers funded from this project to collect baseline data and undertake community mapping as part of their induction/training, this would be the resource offer from the Council. We expect the evaluation to include: * interviews with new and existing residents * perspectives of key service providers * cost/benefit (or social return on investment) analysis of the money invested via the bid compared to the savings through reduced demand on services * assessment of the prevented demand on key services (eg. enforcement; legal proceedings etc etc) * wider socio-economic outcomes through surveys (eg. number of new migrants in work etc) * evidence to populate our Impact Summary return for MHCLG We would value working with an organisation that can bring previous experience of similar work to enable us to compare our approach with that of other places in the UK. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cccb0564-a3e4-44cc-85f7-a252c8c51619 | | 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 | 29 Mar 2018 | | Submission deadline | 17 Apr 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Apr 2018 - 30 Apr 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000 | | 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 | SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 4PL | | 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 | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79315000 - Social research services - 79400000 - Business and management consultancy and related services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 29 Mar 2018 at 08:38 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cccb0564-a3e4-44cc-85f7-a252c8c51619 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cccb0564-a3e4-44cc-85f7-a252c8c51619 29th March 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=fa2311e8-6532-e811-80eb-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
