It is an independent statutory body created by an Act of Parliament and is sponsored by the Department for Education. As part of its remit the Commission undertakes an annual State of the Nation report each year. This report is part of the Commission's statutory duty to monitor UK-wide progress on social mobility each year, and will be published by 31st March 2021. This year we want to put more focus on the synthesis, analysis and critique of social mobility policy activity in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and England - to ensure that our State of the Nation report gives significant attention to what is happening in all nations of the United Kingdom. We are seeking a supplier to produce an essay on social mobility policy activity across each of the four nations. These essays will each form the core of a chapter of in the final State of the Nation report. The report will be structured with an opening chapter on key statistics on social mobility, followed by four chapters each with an essay summarising and appraising policy activity on social mobility in each of the four nations separately. This invite to tender is for an England essay. We have separate invites to tender out for essays on Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The Commission is seeking a supplier to provide new and insightful synthesis and analysis on social mobility policy activity in England. We have previously reported extensively on social mobility in England in our previous reports, and are seeking to provide a high-quality overarching narrative in our forthcoming State of the Nation. https://education.app.jaggaer.com/ Additional information: To access tender documents the please use the link below and register to register for the opportunity. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c9e19264-33a6-4ea9-8a3b-6ad1f4f3f1ec | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Dec 2020 | | Submission deadline | 15 Dec 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Jan 2021 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION | | Locality | WESTMINSTER | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3BT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79300000 - Market and economic research; polling and statistics ## Release History - 2 Dec 2020 at 15:27 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c9e19264-33a6-4ea9-8a3b-6ad1f4f3f1ec - 1 Dec 2020 at 16:34 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c9e19264-33a6-4ea9-8a3b-6ad1f4f3f1ec ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c9e19264-33a6-4ea9-8a3b-6ad1f4f3f1ec 2nd December 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://education.app.jaggaer.com/ To Register ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
