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. This contract will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria set out in the ITQ document. How to Apply As part of the strategic alliance between UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UK SBS) and Crown Commercial Service (CCS), UK SBS will be using the CCS eSourcing Suite for this procurement.
