This active procurement process focuses on research and development services within the industry category of consultancy services. The tender period is set to close on 11th March 2019, with a contract period commencing on 28th March 2019 and concluding on 28th March 2020. The project has an overall budget of £78,300, with a minimum value of £65,000. It is accessible to suppliers across multiple locations, including the United Kingdom and various territories abroad, through an open procurement method. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research and evaluation, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies equipped to assess and enhance the impact of community projects aimed at older individuals will find this tender particularly relevant. By addressing practical and emotional barriers to volunteer participation shaped by earlier research, interested businesses can contribute meaningfully and expand their involvement in community-driven initiatives. ## Notice This ITT is for the learning and evaluation strand of the Age-friendly and Inclusive Volunteering Grant Programme. In this context we mean learning and evaluation of the grant-funded projects, rather than the overall grant programme. The Centre for Ageing Better, in partnership with the Department for Digital, Media, Culture and Sport (DCMS) recently undertook a review into community contributions in later life. The review report - Age-friendly and Inclusive Volunteering: Review of community contributions in later life - was published in October 2018. The review found that many older people who would benefit most from contributing to their communities encounter practical, structural and emotional barriers which prevent them from taking part, or from remaining involved as life changes. It called on voluntary organisations to do more to tackle these barriers and set out six key principles for achieving this. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6cb933d5-c87a-4c85-b10a-81c6649e9ada | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Feb 2019 | | Submission deadline | 11 Mar 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 28 Mar 2019 - 28 Mar 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £78,300 | | 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 | CENTRE FOR AGEING BETTER LIMITED | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC1V 4AD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI43 Haringey and Islington | | Local authority | Islington | | Electoral ward | Clerkenwell | | Westminster constituency | Islington South and Finsbury | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 8 Feb 2019 at 15:21 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6cb933d5-c87a-4c85-b10a-81c6649e9ada - 7 Feb 2019 at 15:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6cb933d5-c87a-4c85-b10a-81c6649e9ada ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6cb933d5-c87a-4c85-b10a-81c6649e9ada 8th February 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/90c8d263-5f2a-4bcf-bb3d-8eca1bbc49f5 Invitation to Tender Overview - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/75f6dc5f-d8fe-40b6-b6fa-8e5b09d0c835 Invitation to tender Appendices and Application Form - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d36fab6d-a40f-4759-977f-d8adf60dc798 Invitation to tender Appendices and Application Form - https://www.ageing-better.org.uk/itt-age-friendly-and-inclusive-volunteering-grant-programme-learning-and-evaluation - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f1219576-d07d-41a4-bca8-598595dc0368 Invitation to Tender ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
