A report on interdisciplinary to act as a discussion paper for the GRC 2016 Annual Meeting, consisting of a combination of desk-based literature reviews, research on policy and a series of telephone interviews with selected research funding agencies around the world, to produce no fewer than ten, and no more than fifteen, country based case studies. The aim of the report is to produce an initial overview of what policies and policy environments exist globally across a small but balanced cross-section of GRC participants. The commissioner recognises that many funding agencies will not have specific policies or schemes for supporting interdisciplinary, but will have embedded what they consider to be good practice throughout their funding policies, and the report should identify where and how this is happening and provide an initial assessment of success. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e54b9c7-2076-4f9d-aaf0-7100baa72948 | | 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 | 23 Mar 2018 | | Submission deadline | 9 Sep 2015 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Oct 2015 - 27 May 2016 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | 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 | UK SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LIMITED | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 1FF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Rodbourne Cheney | | Westminster constituency | Swindon North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 79300000 - Market and economic research; polling and statistics ## Release History - 23 Mar 2018 at 11:14 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e54b9c7-2076-4f9d-aaf0-7100baa72948 - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:16 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e54b9c7-2076-4f9d-aaf0-7100baa72948 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e54b9c7-2076-4f9d-aaf0-7100baa72948 23rd March 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/feeb7c62-a6fd-46f3-ace7-60b783137f57 Price Schedule - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c7017820-f648-4ac1-bf91-55a7e20d8314 ITQ Document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ab291a1f-d310-47d5-ac0f-e66c6c9c71c5 Bidder Training - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3c947aba-dc95-4883-bda9-665a91216852 Bidder Log on to Emptoris - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c045fd9f-bb8b-4faa-a7fa-bf26e3b18895 Contract Terms - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0bb6d5ae-0641-417e-81a8-98459b9ff270 Price Schedule - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1171ff9d-a341-4037-8ad4-d9c1a4df86a8 ITQ Document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e991024a-9750-4baf-8640-a745672b52d4 Bidder Training - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b15ff254-5d4e-4b02-8139-2f3410c97d07 Bidder Log on to Emptoris - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ea608c28-bb3d-4f58-99f5-1dccf724797e Contract Terms ## Notice URLs - https://gpsesourcing.cabinetoffice.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
