This tender falls within the services industry sector and is based in Liverpool, England, with a minimum contract value of £5,000 and a maximum of £6,500. The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 12 noon on 9th July 2018. The contract period is set to commence on 6th August 2018 and will conclude on 30th September 2018. The procurement method employed is an open procedure below the threshold. This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses experienced in designing systems for data collection and impact evaluation, particularly in arts and heritage sectors. Companies that excel in developing strategies for measuring outputs, such as visitor engagement and economic impact, would be ideally suited to participate. This tender not only supports The Reader's ambitious redevelopment project, financed by various stakeholders including the Heritage Lottery Fund, but also fosters collaboration between public and private entities to enhance community services. ## Notice The Reader has been based at the Calderstones Mansion since September 2014, when we signed a 125-year lease with Liverpool City Council. Since then we have opened The Reader Cafe, The Reader Ice Cream Parlour and our interactive children's story centre The Storybarn, and have welcomed thousands of visitors of all ages to enjoy regular Shared Reading groups, exhibitions, heritage tours, outdoor theatre productions and many special events. We are currently undertaking an ambitious PS5m redevelopment, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Liverpool City Council and other private funders, to transform our headquarters into our International Centre for Shared Reading. We have already undertaken a review of the data that we envisage that we will need to collect which brings together the requirements from all of our funders, the information that we anticipate that we will need to support effective decision making and to be able to demonstrate the value and impact of Calderstones. We now need some expert advice to: * Review our current thinking and draft framework in the context of other similar organisations / experience advising us on elements that we have not yet considered and the appropriateness of the proposed data collection methods and time points. * Revise, update and finalise the outputs, outcomes and impact measurement strategy for Calderstones ensuring that the requirements from key project funders, in particular Heritage Lottery Fund, Arts Council England and Liverpool City Council are met in full. * Undertake data benchmarking now, prior to building completion to establish a baseline for key data items. * Develop data collection tools and embed a system for us to data collect in house in future years. * If required, a recommended specification for CRM development of new module to incorporate collected data into our existing system Summary of output required a) Finalised evaluation strategy that meets the needs of The Reader and all evaluation obligations for partners and funders. b) Baseline data collected and collated in a report for key measures. c) A data collection system and handover that we can repeat in future years. d) An outline specification for digital development that may be required. We are looking particularly for experience in designing systems to collect outputs e.g. footfall, visitor numbers, economic impact, which will be particularly beneficial to complement the existing skills and experience of the team. See the attached evaluation brief for full details of the project. Submissions should be sent to ailsahorne@thereader.org.uk by no later than 12 noon on 9th July 2018. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e170e500-e424-4596-a961-771c467044d2 | | 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 | 21 Jun 2018 | | Submission deadline | 9 Jul 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Aug 2018 - 30 Sep 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £6,500 | | 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 | THE READER ORGANISATION | | Locality | LIVERPOOL | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L18 3JB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD72 Liverpool | | Local authority | Liverpool | | Electoral ward | Calderstones | | Westminster constituency | Liverpool Garston | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development ## Release History - 21 Jun 2018 at 10:12 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e170e500-e424-4596-a961-771c467044d2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e170e500-e424-4596-a961-771c467044d2 21st June 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d864ac17-00c7-4599-930d-009907648f61 Evaluation Brief ## Notice URLs - https://www.thereader.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
