More specifically, the project aims to: In the 2018/19 financial year: * Facilitate events to build the capacity of CSOs working across England and Wales to engage with the Convention review process * Consult with CSOs on the key human rights concerns in England and Wales for input into a CSO shadow report to the Committee * Coordinate and draft an independent CSO shadow report with a coalition of CSOs from across England and Wales, and submit this report to the Committee against Torture in advance of their 25 March 2019 deadline. In the 2019/20 financial year: * Launch the shadow report with relevant stakeholders in England and Wales * Present this evidence on behalf of the coalition of CSOs to the Committee against Torture at the in-session briefings which the Committee will organise for civil society organisations ahead of the UK state examination * Produce a short evaluation report As the project spans across two financial years the Commission will need to confirm the availability of funds for 2019/20 at a later stage. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4954f0ec-fc01-4f7f-895c-9e59382c4ea6 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Aug 2018 | | Submission deadline | 25 Jul 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 1 Aug 2018 | | Contract period | 14 Aug 2018 - 28 Jun 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £42,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £40,909 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | EQUALITY AND HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M4 3AQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Piccadilly | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | REDRESS TRUST | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79315000 - Social research services ## Release History - 22 Aug 2018 at 13:11 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4954f0ec-fc01-4f7f-895c-9e59382c4ea6 - 20 Jun 2018 at 13:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4954f0ec-fc01-4f7f-895c-9e59382c4ea6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4954f0ec-fc01-4f7f-895c-9e59382c4ea6 20th June 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=a8469deb-9074-e811-80ed-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.equalityhumanrights.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
