## Summary

The Home Office is currently seeking proposals for the tender titled "Provision of On-Line Research - Understanding How Individuals Engage With The Narratives and Content of Terrorist/Extremist Groups." This initiative falls under the Research and development consultancy services category and is based in London, England. The open procurement process has a deadline for submissions set for 25th August 2017, with project completion expected by the end of January 2018 and final reports due by 15th February 2018. The estimated budget for the projects ranges from £20,000 to £50,000, with the total budget estimated at £100,000.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses engaged in research and development, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that specialise in innovative research methodologies, including qualitative approaches such as surveys and interviews, or who possess expertise in understanding extremist narratives, will find this procurement particularly suited to their competencies. Engaging in this contract allows businesses to contribute to important governmental research while potentially expanding their client base and enhancing their public profile.

## Notice

The Home Office is seeking to fund a number of small innovative research projects (preferably ranging from PS20k - PS50k) to better understand how individuals engage with material produced by terrorist and extremist groups, and the impact that this has on their attitudes and behaviours. Specifically, we aim to establish a stronger evidence base on how individuals engage with, and process different terrorist and extremist narratives and content. This includes developing a better understanding of how different groups operate in a number of languages, and through a variety of content types, to influence their audiences. It is expected that projects will need to be completed by the end of January 2018, and that final reports will be delivered by 15th February 2018. We are keen for research proposals to be innovative and novel; however we will also consider research projects that employ more traditional methodologies (e.g. surveys or interviews). Responses to this Invitation To Tender will be evaluated by Home Office research and policy officials and Commercial Directorate. Further details can be found within the attached tender documentation.
