This is to allow enough time for Lottery Distribution Bodies (LDBs) to suggest projects they think should be approached to enter the Awards and for the appointed Entry Management Supplier to independently research other eligible projects. The Service Provider will manage the entry process and liaise with all 12 Lottery distributors and Lottery-funded projects to encourage a significant volume of strong entries from across the UK within the entry period. The Service Provider will be required to attract a minimum of 650 completed entries per year, with an even spread across all seven categories. This is essential to generate a significant volume of high-quality entries so that there is sufficient competition for a place in the longlist. Timings and expectations in the second year should be the same as above. NLPU will review after year one and agree timings and expectations with the supplier. ## CPV classification Data services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/4a5e6fac-adca-11e6-9901-0019b9f3037b) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
