The title of the project is "Evaluation of The Reader's historic Community-Led Shared Reading Groups," with a focus on identifying barriers and enablers that contribute to the success of these groups across the UK. The tender is categorised under "Design and execution of research and development" within the services industry. The deadline for submission has been extended to 5pm on Wednesday, 23rd May, and the contract is expected to commence on 1st August 2018, continuing until 30th November 2018, with an estimated value between £18,000 and £20,000. The evaluation will take place primarily in the North West region of England. This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in research and evaluation services, particularly those with expertise in social impact assessment or community engagement projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that focus on qualitative research methodologies and have experience working with community-based organisations will be particularly well-suited to compete. The successful bidder will be responsible for designing evaluation methodologies, conducting surveys, and synthesising findings into actionable recommendations as part of a larger scaling project for The Reader Organisation. ## Notice **DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 5pm WEDNESDAY 23rd MAY** Evaluation of the barriers and enablers to people achieving successful, high quality Shared Reading groups----- We wish to work with an organisation/individual who can conduct a focused evaluation of our previous experience training and supporting individuals to deliver Shared Reading across the UK----- As we kick off a national scaling project we want to learn from some of the 5000+ people who have been recruited, trained and/or supported by The Reader previously to understand what the key barriers and enablers to people achieving successful, high quality shared reading groups have been----- Within this overarching aim, we expect this evaluation to consider several questions: - What has enabled Shared Reading groups to keep running? - Are these groups retaining basic fidelity to the Shared Reading model? If not, why not? - Are there any local innovations that The Reader can learn from in terms of delivery practices? - Why do Reader Leaders stop delivering their Shared Reading group? - How satisfied have past Shared Reading trainees been with their relationship with The Reader, and what would they like to see change?----- Tasks include: design methodology, collect and analyse data, condense findings into high-quality report that outlines findings and makes clear recommendations for future roll-out based on these results----- We anticipate the evaluation methodology will involve digital surveys and stakeholder interviews, including face-to-face, online and telephone conversations and the size of the evaluation population to be approximately 75-100 people. Additional information: Please refer to the attached Invitation to Tender for full details of this opportunity and how to submit. Please note that the deadline for submissions has been extended to 5pm on Wednesday 23rd May. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ec9dd11-a9ec-44b6-99f6-a35e3233e2a5 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 May 2018 | | Submission deadline | 23 May 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2018 - 30 Nov 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000 | | 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 | THE READER ORGANISATION | | Locality | LIVERPOOL | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L18 3JB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD72 Liverpool | | Local authority | Liverpool | | Electoral ward | Calderstones | | Westminster constituency | Liverpool Garston | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development ## Release History - 17 May 2018 at 08:38 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ec9dd11-a9ec-44b6-99f6-a35e3233e2a5 - 1 May 2018 at 10:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ec9dd11-a9ec-44b6-99f6-a35e3233e2a5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ec9dd11-a9ec-44b6-99f6-a35e3233e2a5 17th May 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ef4f8552-f4f8-429d-b2e4-c4f1569881d4 Invitation to Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1be710f7-c056-4aee-9334-c90ab7c5ee71 Invitiation to Tender Appendix 1 - Theory of Change ## Notice URLs - https://www.thereader.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
