[More contracts for small businesses and VCSEs](/opportunities/for-small-businesses)## About this tender The National Archives wishes to make applications for funding more strategic, planned and coherent, and are therefore thinking about creating a Funding and Development Office within TNA. We have concluded that we do not currently have the skills and expertise to support a decision as to whether this would be useful, and if so, how it should be structured and staffed, and what its remit should be. As a result, TNA is inviting bids to research its needs in this area, and to write a report making recommendations about how those needs should best be addressed. Written in plain English, the report will use desk research and interviews with internal and external colleagues to identify key issues, and make recommendations. ## CPV classification Research and development services and related consultancy services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice ](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/d115ba9a-f0df-483b-ac50-daf1b90a2211) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
