This contract falls under the services category and primarily supports young individuals aged 16-24 who are unemployed, undereducated, or at risk of reoffending. The evaluation will take place in areas surrounding Glasgow and Edinburgh, with a contract value of £21,975, signed on 18th August 2017. It adopts the open procurement method, having recently completed the tender stage. This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in social research, programme evaluation, and employability training services, particularly those geared towards disadvantaged youth. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a background in personal development initiatives and a commitment to social impact would be particularly well-suited to compete in this procurement process, aiming to foster community development and improve participant outcomes of the programme. ## Notice Venture Trust is seeking an organisation to undertake a 3-year Evaluation of the 'CashBack Change Cycle' programme which is primarily funded by the Scottish Government's Cashback for Communities scheme (Phase IV). The programme will support participants to build aspiration, motivation and self-confidence while developing key employability skills. It is for young people aged 16-24 who are not in work, education or training, facing long term unemployment and disadvantage as well as potentially at risk of (re-)offending or anti-social behaviour (detailed description of the programme in the invitation to tender). The evaluator(s) will work alongside Venture Trust to evaluate the impact of 'The CashBack Change Cycle' programme in addressing the employability development needs of the participants, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the programme in delivering employability outcomes for those who are most vulnerable and most disengaged from services, and help consider sustainability options. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT297144 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Oct 2017 | | Submission deadline | 26 Jun 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 18 Aug 2017 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000 | | Lots value | £20,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £21,975 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | VENTURE TRUST | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | EH3 PDR | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | TLM34 North Lanarkshire, TLM73 East Lothian and Midlothian, TLM75 City of Edinburgh, TLM78 West Lothian, TLM82 Glasgow City, TLM83 Inverclyde, East Renfrewshire, and Renfrewshire, TLM84 North Lanarkshire, TLM95 South Lanarkshire | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ROCKET SCIENCE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79419000 - Evaluation consultancy services ## Release History - 3 Oct 2017 at 00:00 - Award - PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT297144 - 6 Jun 2017 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN285178 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUN285178&idx=3 6th June 2017 - Form of tender - to be completed by consultant and submitted with proposal - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUN285178&idx=1 6th June 2017 - Invitation to tender (incl TORs) - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUN285178&idx=2 6th June 2017 - Venture Trust standard terms & Conditions - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN285178 'CashBack Change Cycle" programme - evaluation 2017-2020 - Venture Trust is seeking an organisation to undertake a 3-year Evaluation of the 'CashBack Change Cycle' programme which is primarily funded by the Scottish Government's Cashback for Communities scheme (Phase IV).
