The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with the tender period concluding on 14 February 2022. The programme falls within the research and development services sector, and the contract is set to commence on 1 March 2022, lasting for one year with a potential extension of up to 16 months, depending on performance. The total available budget for the evaluation is £36,000, with a minimum value of £12,000. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research, evaluation, or consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in mental health and suicide prevention initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are particularly encouraged to participate. By successfully bidding for this contract, organisations can contribute to impactful public health initiatives and strengthen their portfolio within the public sector, while also potentially benefiting from future opportunities related to similar projects across the East of England and nationally. ## Notice The Wave 4 Suicide Prevention Transformation Programme in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough runs between 2021 and 2024. It consists of the following 4 workstreams, delivered through a multiagency approach between the local authority and third sector partners: 1. Enhanced multi-agency Real-Time Suicide Surveillance (RTSS) 2. System wide training in Safetool safety planning and risk assessment 3. Communications and STOP Suicide Campaigns 4. Understanding and addressing self-harm in children and young people We are seeking to employ an external evaluation service to evaluate the impact of the Wave 4 suicide transformation project in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. This evaluation needs to consider the impact of each workstream as well as the overall impact of the programme and its multiagency approach. The objective of this evaluation is to inform our future suicide prevention work by determining the effectiveness of our chosen proposals in reducing suicide and improving the awareness of both healthcare professionals and the wider community in suicide prevention skills. In addition, learning can be shared with partners across the East of England region and wider to inform a wider suicide prevention approach nationally. In contrast, evaluation can also reveal areas of improvement that should be considered in future funding proposals. Evaluation should be both qualitative and quantitative in nature, but there is no expectation of specific evaluation methods from the perspective of the Wave 4 steering group. We are keen to hear potential providers' perspectives on the most appropriate forms of evaluation, and we particularly encourage innovation in your approach. It is important to not only capture the immediate outcomes of our work, but also the long-term impacts that we are hoping to achieve, including behaviour change and greater suicide awareness in both professionals and members of the community. Please note that this is a one year contract initially for up to PS12,000, with an optional extension for 16 more months worth up to PS24,000, depending on performance of the contract and external funding. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eb384f32-0ff0-448e-bb70-8490f84e7a9f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Jan 2022 | | Submission deadline | 14 Feb 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Mar 2022 - 1 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £36,000 | | 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 | CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL AND PETERBOROUGH CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | HUNTINGDON | | Post town | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE29 6YE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Huntingdonshire | | Electoral ward | Huntingdon North | | Westminster constituency | Huntingdon | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 24 Jan 2022 at 16:32 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eb384f32-0ff0-448e-bb70-8490f84e7a9f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eb384f32-0ff0-448e-bb70-8490f84e7a9f 24th January 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Procurer/Advert/View?advertId=f46f2009-c67a-ec11-8110-005056b64545&fromAdvertEvent=True Advert ## Notice URLs - https://procontract.due-north.com/Login ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
