Wholescape Assessment of Social Capital (WASC) The Wholescape Assessment of Social Capital will directly contribute to Wholescape Principle 4: Sustainable Communities & Livelihoods. Supporting the sustainability of communities and livelihoods linked to practice, place and identity is key to enabling an equitable and just transition within Wholescape, ensuring equal weighting regarding societal needs within Triple Challenge interrogation and exploration. Within Principle 4, the Wholescape Assessment of Social Capital will enable the following to be assessed: Criterion 4.1: Wholescape Programmes support an increase in local social capital, which in turn increases a more equitable flow of benefits through Nature's Contribution to People (NCP). The key objectives for WASC are: * To document the main characteristics of local social capital where the Wholescape programme is implemented. * To explore how local social capital interacts with local policy and initiatives for nature, people, and climate. * To identify how this interaction may influence policy and initiative outcomes, including those of WWF's Wholescape programme. * To monitor and evaluate both the intended and unintended impact generated by the implementation of the Wholescape programme in relation to local social capital. In applying a social capital assessment tool and monitoring/evaluation framework, WWF-UK hopes to: * Pilot a more holistic and replicable assessment tool and evaluation framework to monitor the social impacts of programmes more consistently. * Better understand which elements of social capital are most relevant to each specific programme, to inform programme design and more effectively target resource. * Evidence the need for direct funding of workstreams targeted at increasing programme-specific elements of social capital. * Align social and natural capital approaches in Wholescape regions where natural capital assessments and monitoring is underway. Requirements: WWF is seeking research partner(s) to oversee the delivery of WASC in Norfolk, one of three Wholescape pilot locations across the UK. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e4ce00de-113e-4e80-bf1e-e50c35a32e67 | | 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 | 8 Mar 2024 | | Submission deadline | 25 Mar 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2024 - 30 Sep 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | 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 | WWF-UK (WORLD WIDE FUND FOR NATURE) TRADING LIMITED | | Locality | WOKING | | Post town | Guildford | | Postcode | GU21 4LL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ25 West Surrey | | Local authority | Woking | | Electoral ward | Horsell | | Westminster constituency | Woking | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73100000 - Research and experimental development services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development ## Release History - 8 Mar 2024 at 08:16 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e4ce00de-113e-4e80-bf1e-e50c35a32e67 - 7 Mar 2024 at 15:53 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e4ce00de-113e-4e80-bf1e-e50c35a32e67 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e4ce00de-113e-4e80-bf1e-e50c35a32e67 8th March 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/28d2bfb8-9eef-44bc-90bd-b5fa16c5fd04 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0b5917e2-da10-4d58-8abf-8aa7f63093b7 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8fe354e2-0b3e-4938-8ab9-03ced9b1f46c - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f55e42cb-3f6b-4449-be7a-337099ae10fc - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4a90e4ba-75f0-40cd-87af-314dd1ac2718 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
