The UK Portfolio is seeking a single supplier or consortium of suppliers to conduct an impact evaluation of the UK Fund and provide a range of learning services to UK Fund grantholders.
The UK Fund is a funding programme that cover two distinct thematic areas: - Connected Communities - CYP and Youth Voice The first awards were granted in February 2024, focusing on Connected Communities, and in 2025 the funding expanded to Children and Young People (CYP) and Youth Voice.
The key themes that run across the different thematic areas include voice, relationship building, agency, community systems and lived experience.
UK Fund has adopted a funding approach that spans across and between countries, rather than being geographically restricted, and focuses on supporting well-established programmes that demonstrate proven impact, enabling them to scale and expand further.
The funding also prioritises equity - targeting only communities facing poverty, disadvantage, and discrimination.
Another distinguishing factor about the UK Fund is its emphasis on long-term systems change, requiring projects to include a mix of service delivery and systemic transformation in their plans.
The evaluation and learning contract will adopt a collaborative, co-design approach that engages all grantholders, ensuring that all activities align with their learning needs.
The supplier is also encouraged to involve the communities with whom the projects work, enabling them to shape and contribute to the learning and evaluation processes.
This is particularly important given the programme’s emphasis on voice, agency, and power.
