The total contract value will be up to £1 million, however please note there is no commitment to spend this amount.

M&E is a critical function at DESNZ, supporting the department to assess the effectiveness of policies and programmes, generate timely insights and support continuous improvement.

DESNZ has a strong monitoring and evaluation culture and a high demand for M&E services.

DESNZ’s Monitoring and Evaluation framework outlines the vision for comprehensive, proportionate and robust M&E activity across the Department and its partner organisations.

Rapid and timely M&E will be crucial for helping us to understand what works in delivering this mission.

This reinforces the need for a responsive, rapid commissioning route for M&E.

Given the breadth of DESNZ’s policy portfolio and the pace at which evidence is often required, there is a consistent need for flexible, rapid access to high-quality M&E expertise.

DESNZ is seeking to contract a supplier or a consortium who can provide expert input on the methodological and practical sides of M&E as it applies to DESNZ.

It will offer a flexible and responsive route to produce timely insights that inform policy design, programme delivery and strategic decision-making.

This call-off contract is intended to complement in-house analytical capability and larger bespoke procurements for programme specific evaluations, by providing an agile and proportionate route to commissioning a broad range of small-scale, time-sensitive M&E projects.
