## Summary

The UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UK SBS), on behalf of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), is conducting a procurement process for the "Healthy Environment Public Dialogue - Invitation to Quote" (reference: CR20103). This tender is classified under the research services sector and is focused on delivering a public dialogue to inform research priorities within the National Environment Research Council's healthy environment programme. The tender period concludes on 23rd October 2020 at 11:00, and the contract is anticipated to commence on 10th November 2020, lasting until 30th June 2021. The procurement method is open, allowing for broad participation, and firms must submit their bids via the Delta eSourcing Portal, as direct applications to the buyer are strictly prohibited.

This opportunity presents a significant avenue for growth for businesses engaged in creative and digital services, particularly those with innovative online engagement methods. Organisations with expertise in public dialogues, as well as those looking to diversify their service offerings, are encouraged to collaborate and submit proposals. The emphasis on equality, diversity, and inclusion within the project design creates an additional incentive for companies that can effectively engage with diverse audiences, making this tender particularly appealing to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that excel in artistic and digital communication strategies.

## Notice

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Friday 23rd October 2020 at 11:00. **Do not apply directly to the buyer** All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal. UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UK SBS) on behalf of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), wishes to establish a Contract for the provision of Healthy Environment Public Dialogue. Overview: This investigation aims to use public dialogue to inform the National Environment Research Council's (NERC) healthy environment programme in making decisions about priorities for future research. This is a diverse programme which intersects with a range of disciplines, including partnerships with other research councils. NERC/UK Research and Innovation is therefore inviting proposals for public dialogue which help us to present the breadth of that work to a public audience in a clear, accessible and engaging way. Due to the public health measures relating to COVID-19, we are looking for a supplier that will help us to explore innovative approaches to deliver this dialogue entirely online. Given the absence of physical workshops, we are looking to invite creative and/or digital organisations as partners - including those who are likely to have little to no experience of public dialogue - to help think about new ways we can bring the research to life for participants. We are therefore inviting bids from partnerships between organisations that bring together dialogue, creative and/or digital expertise. The project design and delivery must also take account issues of equality, diversity and inclusion, including an approach that allows us to hear specifically from groups who are less engaged in the natural environment. Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement. All attachments can be found within the Stage One: Overview Section within the Delta eSourcing Portal. This contract will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria set out in the ITQ document.
