Notice Title

UKSBS PR17019 Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist Support for the International Partnership Programme

Notice Description

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is a key part of ensuring that programmes are ODA compliant and to ensure this is carried out to a high standard UKSA require expert third party resources to assist and guide the UKSA, and the IPP grant recipients. The successful supplier will support current and future IPP grant recipients in developing and executing their M&E plans, offering training and guidance where necessary. They will also give support to the sector as a whole (through workshops and other delivery mechanisms), to upskill interested parties in the sector until it is deemed a sufficient knowledge base on ODA compliant M&E has been built. The UKSA would look to the supplier for expertise to establish a programme level M&E process that ensures grant recipient plans are aligned to the IPP programme strategy, and compliant with UK Government guidance. This will enable UKSA to be able to report the impact of the overall IPP programme to BEIS, GCRF, DFID and others. This work has already begun with our current M&E supplier and we would look for the successful supplier to build on this work. The successful applicant will also need to ensure that IPP grant recipients implement their M&E plans, and continue to run them to the necessary standard throughout the life of their projects, and this will require support from the successful supplier to support grant recipients and act as an independent quality assurance function. It should be noted that any applicants that are involved with M&E provision and support to current IPP projects will be excluded from the tender to prevent conflict of interest between multiple clients. Also, successful applicants for this tender will be excluded from participating in any current or future IPP projects.
