This tender is currently in the active stage and is being managed through an open procurement process. Interested suppliers should submit their proposals by 13:00 on 28 April 2022, for a project valued at £20,000. The contract is expected to commence on 30 May 2022 and conclude on 30 October 2022, with all activities based in the United Kingdom. This procurement opportunity presents significant growth potential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in research, consultancy, and evaluation services. Businesses well-suited to compete should have expertise in developing evaluation methodologies and tools for risk management, particularly within the context of public safety and fire service interventions. Engaging with this contract offers a chance to contribute to national fire service initiatives while enhancing visibility and credibility within this vital sector. ## Notice The Community Risk Programme Team are looking for a supplier who can provide the Project Board with an understanding of the needs of FRS as they relate to the scope of The Evaluation of Fire Service Interventions (EFSI) project and a rational, evidence-based justification of how to most effectively improve the quality and quantity of evaluation. Within the CRP, the EFSI Project would seek to establish a national process for evaluation that includes a compendium of evaluation methodologies, tools, and guidance to evaluate intervention activities and ensure UK Fire Rescue Service has a consistent, robust, valid, and reliable evidence base that can justify the Community Risk Management Plan. These methodologies would take account of protection, prevention, and response activities as well as their inevitable interdependency as it relates to effective risk mitigation. Furthermore, the methodologies should speak not just to the outcome of the intervention but its impact.
