Gambling Research Services
Gambling Commission
In April 2025, the UK government introduced a statutory levy on gambling operators to provide 'independent and sustainable funding for gambling-related harms research, prevention and treatment'. A small portion of this funding has been allocated to the Gambling Commission so that it can procure research into gambling-related harms in line with its licensing objectives. Consequently, the Commission wishes to undertake some early market engagement to help it determine how best it might structure an invitation to tender for the provision of research services that will enable it to accelerate the process by which it can fill the evidence gaps that have been identified within the Evidence Roadmaps that the Commission's Research and Statistics Team have developed. About the Commission The Gambling Commission is an executive non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport. The Commission is responsible for issuing personal gambling licences for...

Leadership Development to Support Engagement and Learning for Harmed Families
NHS England
NHS England is seeking to appoint a supplier to design, deliver and evaluate a pilot Executive Leadership Development Programme focused on improving proactive engagement and support for patients and families who have experienced harm within NHS services.

The programme aims to strengthen leadership capability in trauma-informed and restorative approaches, enabling earlier, more meaningful engagement with harmed families and embedding a culture of learning, transparency, and accountability across NHS organisations. The appointed supplier will work collaboratively with NHS England, NHS Trusts, and individuals with lived experience to co-design a high-quality training programme tailored to senior leaders, including Chief Executives, Chairs, executive directors, and...

Liverpool City Region Active Travel Maps
Liverpool City Region Combined Authority
The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) is looking to create a new active travel map (walking, wheeling and cycling), primarily concentrating on cycle routes and facilities across the city region. The supplier will work with the LCRCA and the six constituent authorities (Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral) to develop a map that is both clear and easy to use. The result of the contract will be six maps (1 for each local authority area) of active travel facilities such as segregated cycle lanes, off road cycle networks and on road quiet routes. The mapping data that is created by the successful supplier will be owned solely by the LCRCA. This is so that when new routes and facilities are built, the maps can be easily updated by the internal personnel using a standard specification. The maps will need to include key destinations, safety information, key landmarks, bike shops, repair stations, and links to public transport hubs. These will be...

GMH Technical Consultant Procurement in Indonesia
Waste & Resources Action Programme
Food waste is a major source of methane, a potent short-lived climate forcer. Globally, food waste contributes substantially to greenhouse gas emissions and resource inefficiency across supply chains. Rice is a staple food for Indonesia with a high-volume commodity in which post-harvest losses and handling inefficiencies can generate both food waste and methane emissions from spoilage and poor storage. Improved resource efficiency in rice supply chains can reduce food waste, cut methane emission, and improve livelihoods and economic performance. With the above background, WRAP is seeking experienced consultant/team to undertake a food loss and waste hotspot analysis across the Indonesian rice supply chain (on-farm, collection points, storage, milling and processing, distribution/transport, retail and household) for selected rice supply chains in Indonesia to collaboratively collect operational data within the supply chain (where feasible tonnes, value, and data necessary to...
