This contract falls under the research and development services category, specifically addressing the effectiveness of the Independent Child Trafficking Advocates (ICTA) service in London, United Kingdom. The tender period is set to conclude on 24th November 2017, with the contract expected to commence on 11th December 2017 and last until 28th February 2019. This is an open procurement process aimed at gathering detailed insights on the outcomes of the ICTA service for various groups of children, guiding its future implementation and enhancement. This contract presents a valuable opportunity for research firms and consultancies specialising in social services and child welfare. Businesses that possess expertise in qualitative research methodologies, particularly in the context of vulnerable populations, will be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging with this opportunity could significantly contribute to the growth of these businesses by allowing them to showcase their capabilities in delivering impactful research that informs government policy and service provision. ## Notice The overall aim of this call is to provide information to inform and refine national roll-out of the Independent Child Trafficking Advocates (ICTAs) service. The overarching research question is: What is the 'added value' of the ICTA service, and is this different for different groups of children and in different Early Adopter Sites? To address this question, the overall assessment will consider: * What were the outcomes for children who had an ICTA? Were there different outcomes for different groups of children (e.g. internally trafficked UK children/ foreign national children?) * How did the ICTA service work alongside existing service provision for trafficked children in the Early Adopter areas? How was this different for different groups of children? * How was the ICTA service implemented in the Early Adopter sites? Please review Statement of Requirement attachment 2 for further information. Additional information: Please note, by applying the lead applicant is consenting to the attached Home Office terms and conditions. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/019a80b0-c5b1-49c6-8875-77eb5273d4af | | 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 | 20 Nov 2017 | | Submission deadline | 24 Nov 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 11 Dec 2017 - 28 Feb 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | HOME OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | 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 | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 20 Nov 2017 at 18:03 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/019a80b0-c5b1-49c6-8875-77eb5273d4af - 14 Nov 2017 at 17:08 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/019a80b0-c5b1-49c6-8875-77eb5273d4af - 1 Nov 2017 at 16:31 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/019a80b0-c5b1-49c6-8875-77eb5273d4af ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/019a80b0-c5b1-49c6-8875-77eb5273d4af 20th November 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/73325998-f8e7-4eb0-b299-ccca8c706244 Invitation to Tender - Attachment 1 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b8e92763-72d8-44d8-98c1-37fa7fdf6bff Statement of Requirement - Attachment 2 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/bd7f6ab8-b110-43af-91c9-79ac8caa0d0b Evaluation Criteria - Attachment 3 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2b5437ac-67d8-4ed8-af23-ea155617aaa7 Pricing Workbook - Attachment 4 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1b792353-7b25-4123-849e-097f9836c439 Contract - Attachment 5 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0bd2a990-10a2-43a1-971a-9ba3f46860c4 Declaration by Bidder and Certificate of Bona Fide Tendering - Attachment 6 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7c0233b2-afc8-4df2-8b92-a955a6eae125 Attachment 7 - Response to Clarification Questions ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
