The tender process is currently in the Award stage, with past deadlines including 31st July 2017 for expressions of interest and 29th August 2017 for full tender submissions. The contract is estimated at £3,300,000 and spans from 31st October 2017 to 31st October 2021. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) equipped to deliver research and consultancy services.
