Summary of the contracting process

Peabody Trust is seeking an external evaluation partner for the Three Rivers Creative People and Places Programme, known as Hello Earth, together with evaluation of four Peabody cultural pilot projects. The work is evaluation consultancy covering economic impact assessment, performance review and related assessment of programme and pilot-project outcomes. It is a services contract managed by Peabody Trust, based in London. Delivery locations are listed across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world, so suppliers may need to work across more than one geography. The requirement is suited to organisations providing independent programme evaluation and evidence-based assessment of cultural and community initiatives.

The procurement has reached tender: Peabody Trust invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for tender submissions was set for 2 October 2026 at 2:00 pm. The contract period runs from 21 October 2026 to 20 October 2029. Its estimated value is between £25,000 and £50,000, in total. The requirement is presented as a single contract covering the Three Rivers programme and four cultural pilot projects. The published classification covers economic impact assessment, evaluation consultancy and performance review services. Suppliers are described as suitably qualified and experienced, while the procurement states that any selection will be based solely on the criteria set for the procurement. The opportunity is identified as potentially suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits an evaluation consultancy, research organisation or independent evaluator with experience designing and delivering external assessments for cultural, community or place-based programmes. Relevant strengths include economic impact analysis, performance review, outcome measurement, qualitative and quantitative research, stakeholder engagement and clear reporting for public, charitable or community-sector clients. Suppliers should be able to evaluate several related projects while maintaining a consistent methodology and independent perspective. The multi-geography delivery description favours organisations able to gather and assess evidence across the United Kingdom and potentially wider locations. The buyer specifically identifies the contract as potentially suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller specialist consultancies as well as larger evaluation providers with the capacity to manage a programme-level assignment and four pilot evaluations.
