Evaluation Support for Birmingham Museums Trust: Laying The Foundations Project

Birmingham Museum Trust is on the road to significant transformation.

It is therefore essential to document and record our findings, learn and improve as we progress.

We are committed to embedding new ways of working and are seeking external evaluation support to assist us in this process.

In order to evaluation the Resilient Heritage Laying the Foundation Project, we require the following: • Baseline benchmarking of organisational culture and capacities. • Establishing the evaluation framework for the project - defining the what, how, when, who, and why. • Periodic evaluation reports. • A post-project review will be required to be submitted to the NLHF in line with their guidance.

What we're looking for: The collective team will bring to the table big ideas and ambition that creatively respond to the vision, unafraid to challenge accepted norms, collaborating to support the client in further refining their vision and objectives, rooted in community needs.

The team should have a strong sense of Birmingham and its unique characteristics and super-diversity.

You will need to have a deep understanding of this area of work, but you do not necessarily need to be a bricks and mortar consultancy firm.

We welcome responses from individuals, companies, or collaborations.

Ultimately, we do not mind who you are (although if you are not based in the city, we hope that you would see the benefit of spending ample time here to get under the skin of its residents).

Our teams are diverse, as is our city, and your work will recognise, celebrate, and respond to this.

If you consider yourself suitable for certain parts of the brief but not the whole, we would still like to hear from you as we are looking to create the right team who can bring something to the table, which may involve a certain amount of matchmaking with those who have different skill sets.

We want you to understand our passion for change, appreciate the exploratory nature of this work, and be robust and brave with your assertions.
