## Summary

The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trustee Limited is currently soliciting bids for the procurement of research services, specifically aimed at evaluating the impact of LIBOR funding grants. The procurement falls under the industry category of research consultancy services, with a focus on social research services. This open tender process, which provides a wide opportunity for participation, is set to conclude on 7th June 2019. The contract period will commence on 1st August 2019 and run until 31st July 2021, with requirements encompassing delivery across the United Kingdom and other territories.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in research consultancy and social research, to expand their operations and engage with charitable causes supported by the LIBOR funding. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to submit their proposals, aligning their expertise with the objectives set forth by the Armed Forces Covenant Fund. The ability to access the List of LIBOR Grants, contingent upon signing an NDA, will further enhance the competitive edge for interested bidders.

## Notice

The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust is seeking a contractor to undertake an impact evaluation of LIBOR funding. The government's LIBOR grant scheme totalled PS973 million from banking fines received from the Financial Conduct Authority between 2012 and 2015. The initial pledge that the money would support Armed Forces charities and good causes was later expanded in October 2014 to include "Armed Forces and Emergency Services charities and other related good causes that represent those who demonstrate the very best of values". Full details of the Trust's requirements are set out in the ITT. Bidders will also need access to the List of LIBOR Grants document. This will not be provided to bidders until they have signed up the Trust's Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Bidders can request the NDA by emailing enquiries@covenantfund.org.uk.
