It is delivered by a community-based consortium in collaboration with Sheffield City Region Growth Hub and is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund 2014 - 2020 and by the National Lottery Community Fund. Social Enterprise Exchange is designed to promote social entrepreneurship, through awareness raising events, knowledge exchange and peer networking; it will provide support for start-ups, including hot-desks, start-up grants and mentoring; and it will offer specialist enterprise support for existing social enterprises to grow and to develop new products and services. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of good practice in social enterprise support and impact evaluation. The evaluation is to include project design and process, performance against output targets, project outcomes, project impacts (social, economic and environmental) and value for money. The deliverables for the external evaluation will include a detailed assessment framework and methodological statement, an interim progress report, a final evaluation report and a published summary with case stories of good practice and lessons learned. The individual or team appointed will have a good understanding of social enterprise and significant experience of evaluation and impact assessment. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9b6cb5a8-a316-433d-a50d-fa599ce8e121 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Mar 2020 | | Submission deadline | 30 Apr 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2020 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £15,000 | | 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 | COMMUNITY MEDIA SOLUTIONS | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 2BX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79411100 - Business development consultancy services ## Release History - 11 Mar 2020 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9b6cb5a8-a316-433d-a50d-fa599ce8e121 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9b6cb5a8-a316-433d-a50d-fa599ce8e121 11th March 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR159452 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.socentxchange.net ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
