Notice Title

Health Determinants Research Collaboration (HDRC) - Learning and Evaluation Partner

Notice Description

Portsmouth City Council ('the council') is inviting tenders from suitably qualified suppliers to provide expert evaluation partner services for their HDRC project. The Health Determinants Research Collaboration (HDRC) is a new element of NIHR research infrastructure funded by its Public Health Programme that will be based in local government. The purpose is to enable local authorities to become more research-active, undertake new research and use existing evidence to inform our decision making, and undertake evaluation activities. There will be a central focus on health inequalities and actions to tackle issues faced by disadvantaged groups and areas. Portsmouth City Council has successfully bid to be one of thirty HDRCs nationally. Funding has been awarded for a Development Year from 1st January 2024 and, subject to satisfactory achievement of the agreed milestones for this year, for a full HDRC for five years from January 2025 until December 2029. Our HDRC model draws on whole systems approaches that recognise the complexity inherent in 'human systems'. We want to see proposals that engage with this, setting out how the learning partner would work with our HDRC team to design a layered evaluation strategy that includes elements addressing the following: o how our HDRC principles are meaningful to those working within the HDRC; whether they are adhered to; and to what extent and in what ways they are helping the programme to meet its objectives. o how the programme has delivered against the logic model that informed the bid to achieve impact. This will bring together a rich evidence base of whether, how, when, why and for whom the programme has created value and impact. o How the learning from our HDRC can draw on and contribute to the wider learning of the HDRC programme The estimated value of the contract is ?300,000 over the lifetime of the contract. This value is fixed as this is a funded contract, the Council reserves the right to set aside any tender submission that comes in above this value. Please note that the funder for this project does not automatically include inflation in annual uplifts. The expectation is therefore that bids should be for the full amount required to deliver the work over 5 years, inclusive of inflation. The contract term will be for 5 years with no extension options.
