NOTE: Date Change Notice Issued. Instructions to Tenderers updated 14/4/2021
The Royal Society seeks to engage a Supplier or Suppliers to provide research which shall detail evidence to inform its Mathematical Futures Programme.
The Services are described in detail in the specification and broadly comprise the following two work packages:
Work package 1
| 1. | Evidence synthesis of studies concerned with changing nature and importance of mathematics in the 21st century. |
| 2. | Evidence generation for the importance of mathematics to education, society, the economy, and citizenship. |
Work package 2
| 1. | Scenario planning of the importance and value of mathematics to education, economy, society, and citizenship in the future. |
| 2. | Use outputs from Work Package 1 and Work Packages 1 and 2 in ITT 537-3 to inform scenario planning. |
| 3. | Expert views based on interviews and survey. |
| 4. | Engagement with experts through workshops. |
| 5. | Identify emerging policy challenges and opportunities for mathematics and education in the future. |
The MFP will look at mathematical competences across disciplines, not only from different areas of mathematics and natural science, but also from the social sciences and humanities. The scope covers the phases between the start of compulsory education and entry into higher or further education.
The MFP is concerned with the mathematical needs of young people progressing through compulsory education and preparing for diverse futures, including those who in their daily lives require:
| 1) | basic functional numeracy for personal decision making. |
| 2) | mathematical literacy to understand and critique numerical claims. |
and/or who work in:
| 3) | traditionally non-quantitative jobs/professions, but requiring mathematical expertise: e.g., lawyers, journalists, civil servants, politicians, health practitioners, administrators, teaching practitioners (not mathematics), technical and vocational professions - including technicians. |
| 4) | jobs/professions where mathematical competences are a core component, e.g. analysts, engineers, financial professionals, scientists, social scientists. |
| 5) | mathematical sciences, e.g. mathematicians, mathematics teachers. |
In this Invitation to Tender (ITT 537-2), the Royal Society seeks tender submissions from Suppliers for Project 2 of the MFP, which is separated into Work package 1 and Work package 2.
The Society has appointed Suppliers for Project 1, and a separate Invitation to Tender (ITT 537-3) has been launched for Project 3 at the same time as this tender.
Please refer to the attachments to this notice for the Brief, Instructions, Pricing, Terms etc. We look forward to receiving your submission.
Additional information: Tenderers who may submit tenders are asked to register their interest as soon as possible so that any clarification notices are able to be shared by completing Attachment 2 and email to Procurement@royalsociety.org
Please be aware that ITT 537-3 MFP Mathematical Education Policy in the Future: Landscaping Mathematics Education Policy (WP1 & WP2) is also out for tender.
