This procurement process is at the tender stage, with submissions due by 22nd March 2019. The contract period is slated to begin on 8th April 2019 and will run until 10th May 2019, with delivery addresses spanning the United Kingdom and beyond. The tender is being approached through an open procurement method, specifically designed for below-threshold contracts. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) skilled in research and consultancy services. Companies that specialise in reviewing academic and government literature, particularly regarding disability and accessibility, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this work not only enhances business visibility but also aligns with important social outcomes, thereby multiplying the potential for growth and positive impact. ## Notice The Single Financial Guidance Body (SFGB) is subject to the Public-Sector Equality Duty (PSED) which is part of the Equality Act and is a proactive strategic duty on public bodies and others carrying out public functions. The PSED is also an evidence driven duty and knowing your customers is an essential element of this. SFGB puts a very strong focus on customer information, evidence and segmentation. Whilst that evidence may not always be directly focused on protected characteristics in some cases such as the Financial Capability Strategy it is in relation to some characteristics such as sex and age. In other cases, there is detailed data which is collected, for example in relation to race and to an extent disability, which is not necessarily widely utilised, but it is available. Whilst these foundations will be extremely useful for SFGB in moving forward with the PSED there are still some very significant gaps, tasks and challenges. SFGB are looking to appoint a supplier to undertake a wide-ranging and comprehensive review of literature, to include both UK and international sources, concerning disability and the accessibility of services. In addition to the data or literature held by SFGB, the nominated agency shall review academic, government, commercial and 'grey' literature. ILC shall utilise academic databases as well as Google, Scholar and other search engines to gather relevant information. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a35a5540-534b-4b2e-81f9-f5d45407c25c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Mar 2019 | | Submission deadline | 22 Mar 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Apr 2019 - 10 May 2019 | | 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 | THE MONEY ADVICE SERVICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC1N 2TD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | Holborn & Covent Garden | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 98200000 - Equal opportunities consultancy services ## Release History - 4 Mar 2019 at 14:20 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a35a5540-534b-4b2e-81f9-f5d45407c25c - 4 Mar 2019 at 14:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a35a5540-534b-4b2e-81f9-f5d45407c25c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a35a5540-534b-4b2e-81f9-f5d45407c25c 4th March 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://mas.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html?_ncp=1551708235424.1097-1 eTendering portal.
