This procurement falls under the research consultancy services category and is based in London. The procurement process is at the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 12:00 hrs (GMT) on 10th January 2020. The contract is expected to commence on 21st January 2020 and run until 31st March 2020, with a budget range between £45,000 and £65,000, exclusive of VAT. The tender process follows an open procedure, inviting broad participation. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in social and environmental technology solutions, particularly those focused on green tech, agri-tech, health tech, and education tech in China. Companies with expertise in conducting comprehensive research and consultancy services would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, forming partnerships with voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations could enhance their bids, given the emphasis on social impact in the tender requirements. ## Notice The UK defines 'tech for good' as "the use of digital technology to address a global or social challenge by creating a positive digital innovation or intervention." An organisation is referred to as 'tech for good' if its core mission or purpose is intentionally aiming to benefit society or the environment, enabling people to live healthier and more sustainable lives. We require a supplier to provide a report on tech that is addressing pressing social and environmental challenges in China. This will include a broad stroke overview of central government strategies and activity in key sectors followed by a deep dive into a priority sector. We would like this work to focus only on Chinese activity that is addressing social challenges within green tech, agri tech, health tech and education tech. Additional information: Tenders must be submitted via the Delta e-sourcing portal to be received by no later than 12:00hrs (GMT), 10th January 2020 (the deadline for receipt of Tender Responses). Please ensure that you allow yourself plenty of time when responding to this invite prior to the closing date and time, especially if you have been asked to upload documents. The budget for this project is in the range of PS45,000 to PS65,000 exclusive of VAT. Please note that, while not the only criteria, pricing is a key element of our evaluation criteria. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9201b813-1c0d-441b-babb-95ab7a344d5c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Jan 2020 | | Submission deadline | 10 Jan 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 21 Jan 2020 - 31 Mar 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 | DEPARTMENT FOR DIGITAL, CULTURE, MEDIA AND SPORT | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2BQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73210000 - Research consultancy services ## Release History - 7 Jan 2020 at 10:03 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9201b813-1c0d-441b-babb-95ab7a344d5c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9201b813-1c0d-441b-babb-95ab7a344d5c 7th January 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-Understanding-Tech-for-Good-in-China/PY7W9PZ768 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
