INVITATION TO TENDER: NORWAY 〰️

Summary

We are seeking proposals from Norway-based organisations with expertise in participatory research methods to produce a collaborative research project on current support systems for babies, parents, and carers in Norway. Up to 2,017.512 NOK (£150,000 GBP) is available for this work, which must be completed within 12 months of commissioning.  

The successful organisations will help us by answering three key questions: 

1.     What are the current experiences of babies, parents, and carers across Norway during the 1001 critical days? (This includes other similar projects or research on the ground that have explored the lived experiences of parents and carers)  

2.     What do parents and caregivers in Norway say they need to help them in giving their babies the best start in life? 

3.     How can services and support be designed to better meet the needs of babies across Norway? 

We are commissioning new fieldwork to answer these questions - gathering fresh evidence directly from families, parents, carers, and those who work with them across Norway. This new evidence will be the heart of the work. Where relevant, it should be contextualised against existing research, reports, and data from organisations, research centres, and universities already working in this space. 

The goal is a rigorous and accessible research output that brings new and existing evidence together, amplifying the voices and experiences of babies, parents, and carers to better inform how families can be supported during the critical first 1001 days. 

Proposals should include a detailed methodology, estimated costs, completion timelines, and relevant experience. 

To be eligible for funding, organisations must be based in Norway, be registered as a charity/non‑profit organisation or be tax-exempt for at least three years, and have a minimum of three years of audited financial accounts.
