BIS Research and Evaluation Framework
Notice Description
The BIS Research and Evaluation Framework will allow the procurement of research and evaluation services from a pre-selected group of service providers without going through a full procurement process. The Framework complies with EU rules and is available to BIS and other Departments and agencies. It replaces the current Framework Agreement, which has been running since 1 January 2012 and will end on 1 January 2016. This has been widely used and well received by BIS analysts. With no other Framework in place which suit BIS requirements, a new Framework is being commissioned to ensure that BIS continues to have access to high quality, efficient research and evaluation service providers. The new Framework will run from 2 January 2016 to 2 January 2020. The Framework establishes the terms and conditions under which the customer can enter into contracts for specified services. It offers high quality research and evaluation service providers under 8 service areas detailed below. These are core areas of activity for BIS. These cover a wide range of methodological expertise. We also want to draw on specialist expertise in a wide range of policy areas. We recognise that not all organisations will have that detailed specialist knowledge. You may apply for 1 or more than 1 lot Additional information: To participate in this procurement, participants must first be registered on the e-Sourcing Suite.
