## Summary

The Big Lottery Fund, operating as The National Lottery Community Fund, has recently awarded a contract for the project titled "C0026 Research to Identify Long-Term Impacts of Grant-making". The procurement falls under the services category, specifically research consultancy services. The contract value is 55,450 GBP with a procurement method of open procedure (below threshold). The contract period runs from 2nd January 2024 to 31st March 2024, with the tender closing on 6th December 2023. The project is located in Birmingham, England.

This tender presents an opportunity for small and voluntary sector enterprises interested in research consultancy services. Businesses specializing in capturing raw data and generating resources would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The buying organisation, The National Lottery Community Fund, aims to commission a research agency to gather information on the long-term impacts of grant-making. By understanding the scope and objectives of the tender, interested parties can tailor their proposals to align with the fund's research goals and contribute to the broader objective of assessing historic organisational impact.

## Notice

To commission a research agency to recruit organisations that have been the recipients of grants from The National Lottery Community Fund (or any of its predecessor bodies) from 1994 to 2018. The scope of the research is to capture high quality raw material, which speaks to the above aims, and to generate a resource bank to catalogue and store this information. This will enable the Fund to later generate a suite of products about the historic impact of the organisation. We are not commissioning an agency to produce the impact products themselves. Instead, we are interested in capturing raw information that will fulfil specific research aims.
