Evaluation and Learning Partner & Peer Research and Peer Network for the PRU / AP Mentoring Programme
Notice Description
Requirement: As an evidence-based organisation, the VRU uses research and analysis to help inform our decisions and work. This involves conducting or commissioning research and evaluation to help understand how commissioned services are working, and whether services are delivering the results we expect.

Prospective providers may bid for only one Lot, or both.
