The procurement method was selective, with a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender period ended on 20 December 2018, and the contract commenced on 18 January 2019, concluding on 30 September 2019. The awarded contract, valued at £146,990.86, was granted to the National Centre for Social Research on 28 January 2019. This tender presents opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to participate in impactful research projects. Companies specialising in market and economic research, polling, and statistics would find themselves well-suited to compete for similar contracts. Engaging in this research not only enhances visibility within the public sector but also allows businesses to contribute to significant societal discussions on future heating solutions. ## Notice This research project has two aims, split across 4 high-level Research Questions. While we have outlined a set of indicative sub-questions below these four, we would encourage bidders to suggest additional or alternate sub-questions where appropriate. Further, while we have split the questions across distinct aims and research questions respectively, we would anticipate bidders to address these questions holistically and recognise how and where the questions cut across the different proposed methods for this project. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c0efe00-ae6f-417f-b087-e5fd21dd7c75 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a dynamic purchasing system | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 May 2021 | | Submission deadline | 20 Dec 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 28 Jan 2019 | | Contract period | 29 Jan 2019 - 30 Sep 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £146,990 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | 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 | TLI London | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | NATIONAL CENTRE FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH | ## 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 - 18 May 2021 at 15:06 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c0efe00-ae6f-417f-b087-e5fd21dd7c75 - 26 Jun 2019 at 08:08 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c0efe00-ae6f-417f-b087-e5fd21dd7c75 - 2 May 2019 at 14:26 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c0efe00-ae6f-417f-b087-e5fd21dd7c75 - 3 Apr 2019 at 12:05 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c0efe00-ae6f-417f-b087-e5fd21dd7c75 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c0efe00-ae6f-417f-b087-e5fd21dd7c75 18th May 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/bb17665a-f316-47de-ae6b-84c2dca6e7f7 CR18176 - Mini Competition - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/SupplierAttachment/012223a3-af8b-4d8c-b3fc-c9c3ba51bb9c CR18176 - Contract Terms - redacted - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/SupplierAttachment/2b441890-69bc-493d-b3a7-8250805c941f CR18176 - Contract Terms - redacted - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/SupplierAttachment/39f4c7f3-b6eb-487b-9382-a74b036b7651 CR18176 - Contract Terms - countersigned - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/SupplierAttachment/e351fbfe-7325-423a-81d8-b819e3bb3ee1 CR18176 - Letter of Appointment - countersigned - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/SupplierAttachment/5c12cf4c-127a-4b21-9d60-b2b39944306c ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
