Spirit of 2012 is seeking a partner to demonstrate the role that events play in strengthening national pride.

Increased national pride and togetherness are often expected and assumed to be outcomes of events. This research will strengthen our understanding of how and why
this happens, exploring how the relationship between events and national pride varies for different groups and across different parts of the UK. The findings will contribute to a stronger evidence base for event organisers to draw on when designing and delivering major events.

Maximum spend £40,000 inclusive of VAT.

If you would like to be considered to undertake the research please detail your approach to addressing the following areas in no more than 3,000 words (excluding tables, references and example work):

  • Your understanding of the brief and your proposed methodology and approach to the research
  • Your ability to carry out the proposed work, including relevant skills and demonstrable thematic and technical expertise of your team.
  • A project plan with milestones, key activities and deliverables, including the specific roles of your team members, and how you will work with Spirit of 2012.
  • A budget, including a full breakdown of your proposed fees, identifying the day rate and seniority of members of staff assigned to each role. The proposed budget should not exceed £40,000 including all expenses, travel costs and VAT.
  • A minimum of two examples of related work carried out by your team.
