Notice Title

UK SBS CR19047 Knowledge exchange funding: Novel Evaluation Methods

Notice Description

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Monday 15th July 2019 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 focus of this study is to explore methods than may expose the relationships between the uses of HEIF by KE category and the resulting outputs, but at a sufficiently high-level or aggregated basis to provide an appropriate picture for the large-scale English HE sector as a whole, and with proportionate burden. The study is primarily focussed on causation of impacts by inputs, taking the HE-BCI survey as a main source of evidence on outputs/outcomes/impacts. It is also primarily focussed on larger scale uses of HEIF and activity areas that appear to generate highest ROIs (e.g. measured in HE-BCI income), particularly research exploitation and Continuing Professional Development (CPD). It is not primarily focussed on non-monetised KE i.e. the broader range of activities and impacts that are not presently well described in HE-BCI (e.g. public engagement). This is because there are a range of challenges in identifying value of non-monetised KE work, and other analytical work (to be considered in separate exercises) may be required on these areas. 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.
