The brief

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Friday 23rd February 2018 at 14:00 DO NOT apply directly to the buyer.

All tender information MUST be submitted through the CCS eSourcing Portal.

Brief Description of Requirement The principal objective of this work is to develop a framework for the full evaluation of the UKRPIF programme.

The winning bidder will be expected to develop a framework that can be applied by the UKRPIF principal awardees to the breadth of the projects across the UKRPIF programme at an individual level and which then makes it possible to facilitate a full programme evaluation.

The framework should answer questions such as (this is not an exhaustive list): • What qualitative, as well as quantitative, KPIs and range of methodologies would be most appropriate for projects to follow and later on for the scheme to collate, including the limitations of these (with particular reference to the breadth of fields that UKRPIF covers, recognising that one KPI does not fit all)? • Can counterfactuals, informed by a range of stakeholders, be identified to assess whether the benefits realised might have occurred without UKRPIF funds? • What is a suitable timeframe for evaluation activity, both at individual project and programme wide level (timings may differ between projects)?

Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement.

All attachments can be found with the RFx attachments tab within the Emptoris System.
