This initiative falls under the research services industry category and is located in Manchester, England. The engagement end date for suppliers interested in participating is set for 9 June 2022, and a virtual meeting is scheduled for 10 June 2022 at 3pm to discuss the project details and gauge supplier interest. Suppliers are required to register on the relevant platforms to be eligible for the tender process. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in educational research and evaluation services, particularly those with experience in conducting Randomised Controlled Trials and quasi-experimental research designs. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as their innovative approaches could contribute significantly to enhancing adult numeracy programmes. Companies that can demonstrate strong methodologies and past experience in similar projects will find this tender notably suitable for growth and expansion. ## Notice As part of the Multiply programme, DfE is interested in procuring two pieces of research: a) Project 1: a number of Randomised Controlled Trials/Quasi-experimental designed trials in order to improve understanding of what works in improving adult numeracy. b) Project 2: a process and impact evaluation of the Multiply programme We would like to invite potential suppliers to a virtual meeting on Friday 10 June at 3pm to gauge the level of interest in these projects, to hear their views on what is needed to make it a success, to answer questions and to support potential suppliers to link up.
