Business Basic interim and full evaluation report

This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.

BEIS requires a contractor to support to produce an interim Business Basics report 21/22 and a final 22/23 evaluation report to present progress and findings for the entire 4-year programme.

Interim report 21/22 The interim report 21/22 will present findings to dates and set out details of the programme, unique design approach, projects funded, learnings to date, policy findings, policy implications and any recommendations for future approaches to Business Basics.

This report will be a follow on from the progress report published in 2019 (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/business-basics-programme-progress-report-october-2019) The interim report will provide the contractor the opportunity to set the ground work for the final evaluation report in 22/23.

There is also a requirement to support BEIS in ensuring that final reports from the individual projects are assessed to ensure reports are of a "standard" as set out in the BEIS evaluation framework.

Final Business Basics Evaluation report 22/23 The final report will amalgamate and set out detailed outcomes of all the 32 funded projects under the Business Basics fund and evaluate and report on the overall outcome and outputs of the programme.

Content would be agreed with both BEIS and the contractor but would involve, bringing together lessons learnt, general findings and policy recommendations, scalability opportunities and present a case for more experimentation in policy making.

This will support in embedding outcomes into wider business support policy and set the future direction for similar experimental programmes.
