This process is at the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 13 November 2019. The project, classified under research and development services, specifically aims to generate actionable insights into community organisations and micro charities, evaluating how digital tools can support their growth. The estimated budget for this contract is £60,000, with the contract period expected to commence on 6 December 2019 and conclude by 28 February 2020. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in research, design, and social consultancy, particularly those specialising in community engagement and digital solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete for this contract, given the emphasis on understanding the informal sectors of civil society. Participating firms can leverage their expertise to influence the upcoming Digital Fund programme and contribute valuable insights that shape future initiatives. ## Notice The National Lottery Community Fund wishes to procure services to undertake a programme of Discovery work. Discovery work is like action research and the services required are research, design, documentation, content creation and writing. This work will generate insights about community organisations, micro charities, associations and groups that make up a more informal layer of civil society activity, and to understand what role digital can have, if any, in helping them to thrive. The deliverables for the work will be a research methodology and framework, actionable insights and recommendations, ongoing documentation and sharing of the insights more widely. The insights will feed into the design of one of the Digital Fund's future programmes.
