Deepdives into Social Mobility: A Local Perspective Stage 2 and 3

The Social Mobility Commission (SMC) monitors progress towards improving social mobility in the UK and promotes social mobility in England. It is an independent statutory body created by an Act of Parliament and is sponsored by the Cabinet Office. The SMC is interested in understanding more about the people and places with poor social mobility. We are therefore seeking expert suppliers who can conduct quantitative analysis to identify the factors associated with good and bad social mobility outcomes, both at the geographic and household level. Examples of subjects considered as part of this analysis might be the role of local labour markets, educational institutions and income deprivation at the geographical level, and family composition and parental behaviours at the household level. The successful supplier will provide original analysis across a range of datasets and comprehensive and compelling narrative in a final report. The SMC wishes to continue building and improving on our evidence base. Our State of the Nation 2023 (SON23) research shows very clear inequalities of mobility across the country, captured in our regional analysis of mobility rates. We have a robust understanding of the areas with high and low levels of social mobility across the UK, but only in a descriptive sense. We are therefore keen to understand more about the economic and individual characteristics of these areas that drive these outcomes. This will include a detailed analysis of the key characteristics of low-mobility areas, including the role of economic, household and family factors, and the crucial differences between these and higher-mobility areas. This is the second stage of a multi-year, mixed methods research project - the 'Deepdive' into low mobility areas. The first stage, currently ongoing, is a qualitative research project, covering people's understanding and experience of, and attitudes towards, social mobility and its enablers. This analysis is unlikely to provide definitive causal conclusions, but will help to draw out clear conclusions on the implications for policy and further research. Ultimately, the Commission aims to have a better understanding of the key factors which shape, influence and enable social mobility at the local level, allowing policymakers to be more precise in their approaches to improving social mobility in the UK. Bidders must submit their Bids before 4pm on 18 October 2024. All Bids must be submitted to [email protected].

Specialist Professional and Technical Service 3 (SPaTS3) Framework

National Highways is the government company responsible for maintaining and operating the major road network in England. An opportunity has been published to potential suppliers and the scope of works that could be delivered through the SPaTS3 Framework is shown below. The Suppliers will be expected to provide road transport-related technical consultancy, engineering advice, research and innovation services. The services required come under the following headings: a) asset operation, maintenance, assurance and performance b) business support (in key areas of specialist / technical support) c) communications and data transfer d) customer insight research, market research and publicity e) design standards manuals and departures f) economics, statistics and transport modelling g) enforcement policy h) environmental i) geotechnical engineering j) Health, Safety & Well being, security, road safety and vehicle restraint k) highway structures l) identity & image m) incident management and traffic officer service n) intelligent transport o) management information systems p) network resilience q) pavement engineering r) pilots and trials s) post implementation evaluation t) quality management u) risk and value management v) road user behaviour w) strategic transport planning and policy x) sustainability y) traffic signals and road lighting z) transport engineering There will be a maximum of 6 suppliers appointed. It is expected that the successful suppliers will utilise a diverse supply chain to provide specialist support in the required areas. Work under the framework may be awarded following mini-competition, following a single response to a request for expressions of interest or through a direct award to a single supplier. The main site of performance of the activities is England. However, successful suppliers may be requested to work outside of England in support of the organisations enabled to use this framework, as noted in the additional information. Further details of the requirements of the topic areas and the processes to award work are included in the tender documents. Additional information: A six-year duration is necessary due to the extensive mobilisation period and investment costs required by suppliers to meet all obligations and deliver projects effectively, making a four-year duration insufficient. Additionally, SPaTS3 supports economic, environmental goals, and the government's objectives, including Carbon Net Zero, during Roads Period 3 (RIS3).
