This procurement falls under the category of research and development services and related consultancy services, with a total project value of £24,999. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage and ends on 5th January 2018, with the contract period set to commence on 15th January 2018 and conclude on 13th April 2018. The project's focus is on addressing active travel behaviours in the East of England. This procurement presents significant opportunities for consultancy firms and academic institutions specialising in research management, behavioural insights, and active travel interventions. As the project involves training and capacity-building elements, businesses that are registered as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete. The contracted party will gain valuable experience and insights, potentially leading to further collaborations in related areas of public service and community engagement. ## Notice SEAT would like to appoint a consultant or academic partner with behavioural insights and research expertise who can act as a research manager for the SEAT project over a 12 week period starting mid-January 2018. The first 4 to 5 weeks will be the core delivery period. The research manager will be tasked with scoping out and setting up a research programme that informs the work of the three workstreams (Targeted Travel Engagement, Travel Interventions and Services, and Ideas in Motion). The research manager will need to be able to operate within the tight timescales for delivering these workstreams. Our requirements for this work are to: * Create a research strategy that identifies and defines our research needs. * Develop a research programme that supports the delivery of SEAT. * Gather and analyse existing active travel data available within Southend-on-Sea Borough Council, Essex County Council and Thurrock Council. * Create a bank of active travel data that we can use to give us an accurate and deep understanding of our target audiences and what will drive them to engage with the campaign * Build capability in SEAT around using insight through training and sharing learning across the SEAT team. * Capture insight from SEAT. * Develop a model for gathering and using insight that colleagues in Southend-on-Sea Borough Council, Essex County Council and Thurrock Council can follow going forward. * Commission research that will inform the three workstreams in years 2 and 3 of the project. * Support the work that is being done to monitor and evaluate delivery against SEAT's KPIs and outputs (see SEAT KPIs document). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/19e6f1b7-3bc5-43cb-ba10-e91177c50866 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Dec 2017 | | Submission deadline | 5 Jan 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 15 Jan 2018 - 13 Apr 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £24,999 | | 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 | SOUTHEND-ON-SEA BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | SOUTHEND-ON-SEA | | Post town | Southend-on-Sea | | Postcode | SS2 6ER | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH31 Southend-on-Sea | | Local authority | Southend-on-Sea | | Electoral ward | Victoria | | Westminster constituency | Southend East and Rochford | | 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 - 19 Dec 2017 at 08:59 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/19e6f1b7-3bc5-43cb-ba10-e91177c50866 - 15 Dec 2017 at 08:50 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/19e6f1b7-3bc5-43cb-ba10-e91177c50866 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/19e6f1b7-3bc5-43cb-ba10-e91177c50866 19th December 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/70110564-a7c4-466e-a051-ce9ecbb64468 Quotation Details - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3fbe7a4e-df1e-4801-ab32-0185cbe35e3c KPIs - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/62998c24-b950-4a3f-a55a-ee9d74cf9b63 SEAT Programme - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/82975830-253f-49d2-97ef-33ba5617b607 Clarifications ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
