Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) has completed the procurement process for the STEP Ukraine Programme Evaluation & MHCLG Evaluation Services. The contract, valued at £18,750,000, was awarded to Alma Economics Limited. This contract encompasses the evaluation of the STEP Ukraine Programme, including its impact on employment and English language literacy among learners. The evaluation process is segmented into two phases, starting in the fiscal year 2024/2025, with potential extensions for additional longitudinal analysis, contingent on securing the necessary data. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from the Crown Commercial Service Research & Insights marketplace (RM6126). The contract period spans from 19 August 2024 to 18 August 2026, with services delivered across England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in research services, especially those with a focus on evaluating educational and employment programmes. Companies with experience in conducting detailed evaluations and longitudinal studies would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given the DLUHC's emphasis on engaging with SMEs. This procurement offers the potential to build a substantial portfolio in public sector evaluations, aiding businesses in expanding their market presence and enhancing their reputational credentials within the industry.
