UKRI Evaluation Partner for the Healthy Ageing Challenge

Notice Description

Operating across the whole of the UK and with a combined budget of more than PS7 billion, UK Research and Innovation represents the largest reform of the research and innovation funding landscape in the last 50 years. As an independent non-Departmental public body UK Research and Innovation brings together the seven Research Councils (AHRC, BBSRC, EPSRC, ESRC, MRC, NERC, STFC) plus Innovate UK and a new organisation, Research England. UK Research and Innovation ensures the UK maintains its world-leading position in research and innovation. This is done by creating the best environment for research and innovation to flourish. For more information, please visit: www.ukri.org Healthy Ageing Challenge overview: The Healthy Ageing Challenge is part of UKRI's Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (https://www.ukri.org/innovation/industrial-strategy-challenge-fund/) and was set up to support delivery of the Government's Ageing Society Grand Challenge. It encompasses a broad scope which offers opportunities for a wide range of industries and established sectors. The aim of this challenge is to enable businesses, including social enterprises, to develop and deliver products,services and business models that will be adopted at scale which support people as they age. This will allow people to remain active, productive, independent and socially connected across generations for as long as possible. UKRI is seeking to secure the services of service provider or a consortium of service providers to carry out the evaluation of its Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF) Healthy Ageing Challenge likely over a 4-year period, using a pre-existing shared measurement and learning framework. There are three key aims for the service provider under this tender (not yet finalised): 1. Provide independent evaluation of the impact of the HA Challenge drawing on evidence from a number of areas. 2. To provide a process evaluation - including how UKRI has set up the programme, the portfolio of funded activities, and the governance model. 3. Provide support to the Trailblazers, and the Social, Behavioural and Design Research Programme (SBDRP) to help them create and provide a 'self-evaluation' plan and indicators showing progress and learnings, along with their own metrics and narrative of success of their funded activities.

A key objective of the supplier engagement day is to test the 3 aims of the tender and review the anticipated budget for this requirement to ensure a successful outcome. In particular, to understand the options and cost benefits of different approaches to the impact evaluation and approaches for the large-scale Trailblazer projects specifically. Based on the outcome of the supplier engagement, the scope of the evaluation programme may be adapted to include any recommendations from the day. By registering and attending you will be engaging in non-competitive dialogue which will enable UKRI to develop and assess the market's appetite, concerns, and views on formulation of its requirements.

UKRI may consider the information and responses received as part of the preliminary market consultation to help inform the specification and further decision making in relation to the planning and conduct of the proposed procurement. For the avoidance of doubt, this notice is not a Call for Competition; a Contract Notice will be issued as a call for competition.

Participation in preliminary market consultation will be at each supplier's own cost.
