Summary of the contracting process

Wiltshire Council commissioned an independent evaluation of Phase 2 of the Emotional Me Programme in Wiltshire schools. The work continues the evaluation of Phase 1, for which the Institute of Public Care developed the programme’s theory of change, evaluation framework, methodology and data collection tools, and managed stakeholder relationships throughout delivery. The requirement is a professional evaluation service, with training services as the associated classification. Delivery is in Wiltshire, serving schools participating in the Emotional Me Programme. The council is the public-sector buyer. The work is relevant to organisations experienced in evaluating education, health, wellbeing or other school-based programmes, particularly where evaluation must combine structured methods, data collection and engagement with multiple stakeholders. Suppliers with experience translating programme objectives into an evaluation framework and assessing delivery across schools would be well aligned with the requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold route described as unknown. There was one completed lot. The award was made to Oxford Brookes Enterprises Limited on 3 September 2026, and the contract was signed by Wiltshire Council on 15 September 2026. The contract period runs from 18 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £32,800 excluding VAT and £37,440 including VAT. The awarded contract covers continuation of the Phase 1 evaluation work through evaluation of Phase 2 of the Emotional Me Programme. Oxford Brookes Enterprises Limited is the sole awarded supplier. The procurement was for services and was below the applicable threshold. The published outcome therefore records an established award rather than an invitation for further submissions.

Although this contract has been awarded, it provides a useful benchmark for suppliers tracking Wiltshire Council’s demand for independent programme evaluation in schools. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show practical experience designing and applying evaluation frameworks, developing theories of change, selecting suitable methodologies and creating data collection tools. The ability to manage stakeholder relationships throughout programme delivery is central to the requirement, as is understanding how to evaluate a phased intervention rather than only providing a one-off report. Relevant evidence could include evaluations of school, community, health or wellbeing programmes, with clear methods for gathering and analysing evidence from participating schools and other stakeholders. Organisations able to combine independent assessment, structured data work and sensitive engagement with education partners would be best placed to compete when a similar requirement returns.
