## Summary

The Department for Education in England is seeking proposals for a tender titled "The measurement of vulnerability of children and young people in England." This procurement falls within the services industry category and is classified under research and development services. The active procurement stage will include three separate projects, with a contract period starting from 13th November 2017 and wrapping up by 1st May 2018. The estimated total budget for all three projects is £60,000, divided into three lots of up to £20,000 each, with the tender period having ended on 27th October 2017.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in research and analysis, particularly those with expertise in social services or working with vulnerable populations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, especially those with capabilities in data analysis and collaboration with government bodies. The tender invites suppliers to engage with various stakeholders, providing an avenue for firms to align their services with public sector needs while contributing to impactful social research.

## Notice

The Children's Commissioner's Office (CCO) wishes to commission research and analysis on children in England that are experiencing a range of forms of vulnerability or additional need. This research will take the form of 3 separate lots which inform one another. We will consider bids from the same potential supplier on projects 1 + 2. The 3 projects are separate and distinct but will all operate within the same general terms and framework and there will be interaction between the projects. Project 1 requires analysis across all of the 40 (approx.) vulnerable groups. Projects 2 and 3 do not require analysis across all groups. Projects 2 and 3 will consider the feasibility of new analysis of cohort data or known admin data or other data available to them. Projects will have access to new data made available to the CCO and the capacity to analyse data gathered on specific areas of the country that choose to participate in this programme, or in a small number of cases where the CC uses powers of data collection to request data. The CCO is seeking collaboration with Government Departments, local Councils, the VCS and others who may provide additional data within the life of these projects. Additional information: Estimated value: Project 1: Up to a maximum of PS20,000 + VAT Project 2: Up to a maximum of PS20,000 + VAT Project 3: Up to a maximum of PS20,000 + VAT
