Notice Title

Pluss CIC Evaluation Services RFQ - March 2022

Notice Description

Pluss has secured an extension of five of its ESF/National Lottery Community Fund Building Better Opportunities programmes in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and West Yorkshire, until March 2023, and as such has extended the Building Better Opportunities evaluation, which began in 2017. The five project areas are: * Cornwall Coast to Coast * Cornwall South and East * Devon * Somerset * Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield To avoid doubt, Pluss CIC is seeking one supplier to provide evaluation services in all five areas. An existing evaluation model, developed from the original bid to National Lottery, was split into phases. Phase one focused on quantitative data, phase two on analysis and phase three the wider aspects of best practice models and social return on investment. The first and part of the second phases have been completed: Phase One: * Deep dive into existing data; identifying themes and trends * In-depth analysis of distance travelled data * Informs planning for subsequent phases of research Phase Two: * Quarterly focussed data reviews The existing model included a range of quantitative and qualitative data gathering tools. * Quantitative participant data gathered has been in these categories: expenditure, achievement of outcomes, demographics, education, protected characteristics, and self-declared barriers * Qualitative data has been gathered through structured and unstructured interviews with participants, focus groups, observations, and social media 2.6 The model had reporting milestones built in to enable Pluss CIC management to understand the analysis and to develop changes in delivery in response to the findings in those reports. Further details relating to the Scope of Requirements, including required Experience and further service details can be found in the RFQ document, obtainable through the links stated later on in this Contract Notice. Additional information: Whilst this Procurement / Contract Notice operates below the current PCR 2015 threshold values, this RFQ is also being operated under the ESIF National Procurement Requirements and as such is ABOVE the threshold values contained therein.
