This procurement falls under the research and development services category, with a specific focus on ending child poverty. The tender process is currently at the planning stage, with a deadline for submissions set on August 2nd, 2024. The contract period is expected to run from September 2nd, 2024, to February 28th, 2025. The opportunity is open to businesses across various locations, including the UK, British Oversea Territories, and Europe. This tender presents an opportunity for economic research consultancies looking to contribute towards addressing child poverty issues. As the project aims at setting out a blueprint for change to combat poverty, firms with experience in economic research services, social research services, and research consultancy services would be well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, with a strong emphasis on delivering impactful solutions to tackle child poverty and enhance the life chances of vulnerable children and families. ## 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/6d71e042-6ab7-474d-8a24-4e5eb092f0a2 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Jul 2024 | | Submission deadline | 2 Aug 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Sep 2024 - 28 Feb 2025 | | 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 - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 73110000 - Research services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73210000 - Research consultancy services - 79311400 - Economic research services - 79315000 - Social research services ## Release History - 3 Jul 2024 at 15:07 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6d71e042-6ab7-474d-8a24-4e5eb092f0a2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6d71e042-6ab7-474d-8a24-4e5eb092f0a2 3rd July 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=83355&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.
