The procurement is at the Tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 21st July 2017. The contract will be executed in Scotland, with bidding expected to adhere to an open procurement method. Further contract specifications and documentations are accessible for interested parties via the procurement platform. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social impact consulting, community engagement, and systemic change methodologies. Companies that possess expertise in mentoring local authorities, analysing early-stage proposals, and providing coaching support to enhance community-led decision-making would be particularly well-suited to participate. With a total value of £25,000 available within the 21-month term contract, there is substantial potential for firms to contribute effectively to the objectives of the Big Lottery Fund while furthering their business growth in the sector. ## Notice The Early Action System Change Programme will invest up to GBP 7.5m to help accelerate a shift to investing a greater share of public resources in effective, early action. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Early Action System Change Programme will invest up to GBP 7.5m to help accelerate a shift to investing a greater share of public resources in effective, early action. It will do this by offering dedicated resources to bring together local multi- agency partnerships to co-design longer term, preventative approaches in one of three key areas: - Healthy Diet & Active Lifestyle - Children, young people & families, and - Women and the criminal justice system. Systems change is a complex area and this programme seeks to influence the expenditure and delivery plans of public sector agencies and their partners, as well as fostering a genuine culture of community led decision making and resource allocation. While we have considerable investment expertise within the Fund in these areas, we would benefit from further training, expert advice and guidance about how to achieve effective systems change within local authority, regional or strategic area partnership settings and support to scrutinise and influence local area partnership delivery, commissioning and spending plans. This contract, then, is to support Big Lottery Fund Scotland Directorate Early Action staff in three key areas: a) Mentoring key personnel (small team and one to one staff development) across the assessment and decision making stages, to enhance their knowledge, skills and confidence to support the local area partnerships to frame, achieve and learn from well-developed change strategies. b) Providing expert analysis of early stage proposals to the Fund within this programme, with a particular emphasis on assessing partners' change management readiness, the rationale for their local systems change and intended approach, and c) On-going coaching support through initial Early Action proposal implementation (supporting Fund staff to review and approve more detailed partnership delivery plans, as well as local work getting underway). Renewal: The Contract is for a term of 21 months in the first instance. Subject to agreement on terms, the Fund shall have the option to extend for up to a further 12 months. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN287253 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Jun 2017 | | Submission deadline | 21 Jul 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | Lots value | £25,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BIG LOTTERY FUND (LONDON) | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC4A 1DE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | City of London | | Electoral ward | Castle Baynard | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79411000 - General management consultancy services ## Release History - 23 Jun 2017 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN287253 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUN287253&idx=5 13th July 2017 - Clarification question answered - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUN287253&idx=3 11th July 2017 - Clarification questions and answers regarding this tender - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUN287253&idx=4 11th July 2017 - Clarification questions and answers regarding this tender - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUN287253&idx=1 23rd June 2017 - Invitation to Tender document - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUN287253&idx=2 23rd June 2017 - Services Contract - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN287253 Early Action System Change Programme - The Early Action System Change Programme will invest up to GBP 7.5m to help accelerate a shift to investing a greater share of public resources in effective, early action. ## Notice URLs - http://www.biglotteryfund.org.uk - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=501008 - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000501008 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
