This procurement falls under the research consultancy services category and will take place in the United Kingdom. The tender period ends on 13th March 2019, with a contract start date of 25th March 2019 and an end date of 28th June 2019. The total contract value is set at £20,000, with a minimum value of £18,000, and the procurement method is an open procedure below threshold. This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses engaged in research consultancy, particularly those specialised in grant analysis or policy review in the heritage sector. As the project involves stakeholder engagement and evaluation of existing guidance, companies with expertise in qualitative research and a strong understanding of funding frameworks in the voluntary sector will be well-suited to compete. SMEs are encouraged to participate as they may find a niche in providing tailored consultancy services to meet the project's requirements. ## Notice We would like to review a sample of grants from eligible applicants to gauge the overall take up of applying for full cost recovery since 2013 and test assumptions with stakeholders from the heritage sector in order to better understand how it is being used and whether or not our current guidance is fit for purpose in order to inform future policy. The aim of the research is to review our FCR guidance and take up by grantees, and suggest changes, if necessary. The research objectives are to: * Review a sample of 200 grants to applicants eligible to apply for FCR in order to establish the level of take up, the average percentage allocated in an applications overall budget for FCR and the sorts of costs a claim would typically cover. * Explore grantee perspectives on the importance of the Fund supporting FCR through our grant making, the ease of implementation and clarity of our current guidance. We would also like to hear from grantees who chose not to use FCR where they could have claimed to understand the reasons why. * Explore grantee perspectives on potential alternatives to FCR with the objective of ensuring that our project funding takes reasonable account of their need to sustain their organisation (by covering an element of core costs). * Review and report on other funders, such as the National Lottery Community Fund, policy approaches to core costs and any literature currently available on full cost recovery in the voluntary and community sector. * Draw conclusions and make recommendations to the Fund on options around FCR and highlight any implementation issues, with recommendations for a favoured course of action. THE FULL REQUIREMENT IS SET OUT IN THE ATTACHED ITT DOCUMENT.
