SEND Reform Investments Evaluation - Market Engagement Information

Department for Education

The Department for Education is considering commissioning an independent evaluation of key SEND reform investments designed to strengthen inclusion in mainstream settings and improve support for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The Department is exploring a single contract comprising three interconnected evaluation components: - An overarching SEND Reform Investments Evaluation - An evaluation of Experts at Hand (EaH) - An evaluation of the Inclusive Mainstream Fund (IMF) The evaluation will assess the extent to which these investments are building workforce capability, inclusive practice, local system capacity and partnerships needed to support future phases of SEND reform. The overarching evaluation will synthesise evidence across a range of SEND reform programmes to understand whether the initial investment period is creating the conditions necessary for successful implementation of a reformed SEND system from 2029/30 onwards. The Department is interested in engaging with potential suppliers to discuss the feasibility, design and delivery of evaluations of this scale and complexity. We anticipate suppliers will require expertise in mixed-methods research, large-scale programme evaluation, and research involving children and young people with SEND, families, education settings and local authorities. Consortium and subcontracting arrangements may be appropriate where they bring together complementary expertise. We welcome engagement from all interested suppliers, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). The project is anticipated to run from early 2027 to late 2029. A maximum indicative budget of approximately £2.5 million is anticipated. Procurement Route and Registration Requirements Should a procurement proceed, it is expected to be conducted through the Government Commercial Agency s RM6126 Research & Insights Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS).

105016 - Media Consumption Pathways and Trust

Department for Culture, Media and Sport

DCMS is seeking to commission a two-phase research project to investigate UK media consumption habits and public trust in media. Phase 1 would consist of a behavioural cohort study (or another appropriate methodology) to map the specific "user pathways" audiences take to find, consume, and value information across different media sources, such as traditional news broadcasts and social media, across different demographics. Building on these findings, Phase 2 would explore how individuals perceive trust in different media sources due to their own perception of mis/disinformation, assess the broader effects of these consumption pathways on factors such as viewer retention and wider social cohesion, as well as overall integrity of the UK's information ecosystem. This project will be commissioned either through a Competitive Flexible Procedure under the Procurement Act 2023, or through the RM6126 Research and Insights framework. This is part of the DCMS Science and Analysis R&D Programme, which supports R&D capability within the department. This project will run concurrently alongside three other large projects across 2027-2030; these include 'what works' research into AI adoption in DCMS sectors; a continuation of previous research to develop data-intensive approaches for capturing engagement at unticketed cultural, heritage, and sporting events/activities/locations, e.g. using mobile app data to model how people participate in our events; and a continuation of previous research to design and improve methods for holistically tracking the long-term impact of major events, tested on a major event.

Development Opportunity: Seaview Road – Site of former Liscard Municipal Buildings and Adjacent Carpark

Wirral Council

Wirral Council (the “Council”) is the local authority for the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral. The Council’s Economy, Regeneration, and Housing Committee adopted the Neighbourhood Framework for Liscard: An Integrated Master Plan on 22 November 2021. The Masterplan is published on Wirral Council's website, and the vision is to create a Liscard town centre loved by local people where:  Everyone feels welcome;  People can live, work, and play;  There is a strong sense of local identity, and;  People can come together. Members of the Council’s Policy and Resources Committee (the Committee) agreed on 12 July 2023 to declare the former Liscard Municipal Offices [fronting onto Egerton Grove and the adjacent carpark accessed by Seaview Road and behind businesses fronting on to Seaview Road and Liscard Village] (the Site) surplus to requirements (further context on this site is set out below). The Committee also gave authorisation to progress a procurement process to secure a development partner for the sites’ redevelopment on 11 December 2024. The Site was proposed for development as a part of the Masterplan. The Masterplan notes that the Seaview Road carpark was underused relative to other carparks in Liscard area and proposes repurposing the carpark and former municipal offices into housing to attract more local residents and better link the site to Liscard Village. The Council adopted its new Local Plan on 31 March 2025. The Local Plan requires 14,400 net additional dwellings in Wirral by 2040. These are all to be delivered on brownfield sites, including the former Liscard Municipal Offices and adjacent carpark. The 2021 Strategic Housing Market Assessment for Wirral, which was a key piece of evidence in developing the Local Plan, states a need for around 700 affordable homes each year borough-wide. Following the introduction of the new Local Plan system in March 2026, the Council published a Notice to Commence work on a new Local Plan and Timetable at the end of June

Please do consider providing information.** Note, this activity is not directly related to a specific procurement and any information provided are without commitment and prejudice for all parties. Therefore, there will not be a contract issued following this exercise. The purpose of this spreadsheet is to understand how different systems, sensors, products and data solutions provided by industry could address the UK Cross-Government SDA requirements. This may help to inform the potential contributions to a UK SDA Systems of Systems that will address these requirements operationally. UK government will use the data provided in the creation of a Capability Map, allowing analysis of current UK capabilities against the requirement set, including consideration of how commercial offerings could close gaps. Furthermore, gap analysis on the full Capability Map will allow UK government to identify areas where further research and development activity may be required, when no sovereign or commercial offerings are available to meet a requirement. With the 2026 update to the SDA Requirements, and in order to keep the Capability Map current, this RFI activity is a continuation of the previous call and will likely be repeated in the future. This RFI provides the standardised format for commercial to demonstrate current capabilities and reflect growth, and UK government to track the health of the sector and available capabilities. We ask that respondees complete the spreadsheet for the systems etc they offer. This may require multiple returns, depending on the commercial capability. If you have responded to a previous call please do so again with your current capabilities. Note, this activity is not directly related to a specific procurement and any information

Defence Medical Services Research Steering Group

MINISTRY OF DEFENCE

Defence Medical Services Research Steering Group (DMSRSG) is the primary mechanism through which the DMS endorses and funds research activity. The research project must be of military relevance, scientifically robust, and offer value for money. DMSRSG supports military-relevant medical research. Projects are not restricted to a particular methodological approach or technology readiness level (TRL). We will support foundational science through to applied research. Where foundational science / early TRL activity is proposed there must be a feasible pathway to impact on clinical delivery or operational capability. Research must be predominantly medical or healthcare focused and we welcome qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research. There is no limit on the amount of funding that can be requested per application. However, the overall commitment budget at any one DMSRSG meeting is approximately £500k and we support multiple proposals at each round. Funding requests should always be commensurate with the activity proposed and can be multi-year. Priority areas are outlined in the calling notice.
