Tenders are available through a number of different contract types. This will give your organisation flexibility in the tendering process. For example, you can tender for:

– Standalone contracts
– Framework agreements
– Dynamic Purchasing Systems (DPS’).

To be awarded a research contract, you must pass a number of stages. These stages include:

– A selection questionnaire (SQ)
– Quality or technical responses
– Pricing proposals.

Initially, you must pass all sections within the SQ, demonstrating how your organisation meets the buyer?s requirements. This may include providing evidence of:

– Organisation registration
– Certifications, qualifications and experience
– Insurance
– Finance eligibility.

A smaller contract for gathering feedback or public consultation may only require a single contract tender. However, a local authority may procure via a framework, which is divided into Lots (or services/areas).

Through Lots, you can provide your organisation?s specific services. For example, a buyer may designate focus groups as one Lot, and feasibility studies as another. Lots are often divided into areas or wider regions. This largely depends on the scale of services required by the buyer.

There are research tenders available across the country. Contract budgets can range from thousands to millions of pounds. They can also range from a number of weeks to years. This is dependent on the scope of the buyer?s requirements.

Often, research tenders require multi-disciplinary engagement, therefore suppliers must be willing to work with other organisations and authorities.

Research tenders will help to develop:

– Local and national policy
– Reviews of how effective implemented policies are
– A deeper understanding of social, economic and environmental
risks, issues and solutions
– Technological innovations
– Medical innovations
– Engineering solutions
– Area-specific research
– Strategies for how future resources can be used most effectively.
