This procurement falls within the research services industry category and is based in London, UK. The procurement stage is currently at the Tender phase, with a submission deadline of 17:00hrs (BST) on 13th August 2018. The total contract value is set at £50,000, with a minimum entry value of £25,000, and the planned contract duration runs from 3rd September 2018 to 31st December 2018. This tender presents valuable opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in meaningful research aimed at addressing digital exclusion, particularly for older people and individuals with disabilities. Businesses specialising in social research, digital services, and outcome-based commissioning methodologies would find this procurement particularly relevant. The contract encourages competitive tenders and fosters innovation in tackling the pressing issue of digital inclusion. ## Notice A study into digital inclusion and outcome-based commissioning. Government has been actively exploring ways to tackle digital exclusion for some time, including through direct funding of digital inclusion initiatives, through partnerships and through provision of assisted digital services. Rates of digital inclusion are improving, but for older people and people with disabilities digital inclusion rates are still lagging behind. This study will consider the viability of using outcome-based commissioning to tackle digital exclusion specifically for these two cohorts, in addition to looking at the viability of using outcome-based commissioning to tackle digital inclusion more generally. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. Tenders must be submitted via the Delta e-sourcing portal to be received no later than 17:00hrs (BST), 13th August 2018. The Department reserves the right to extend the contract for a further three months (until end of March 2019). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bb8d375c-5e50-4948-a400-93a85c4d42d8 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Jul 2018 | | Submission deadline | 13 Aug 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Sep 2018 - 31 Dec 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | 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 | DEPARTMENT FOR DIGITAL, CULTURE, MEDIA AND SPORT | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2BQ | | 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 | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 30 Jul 2018 at 16:09 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bb8d375c-5e50-4948-a400-93a85c4d42d8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bb8d375c-5e50-4948-a400-93a85c4d42d8 30th July 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-A-study-into-digital-inclusion-and-outcome-based-commissioning/MKKJ23Z3BD Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
