Summary of the contracting process

Wiltshire Council commissioned an independent evaluation of Phase 1 of the Emotional Me Programme in Wiltshire schools and has extended this requirement to evaluate Phase 2. The work covers evaluation of the programme’s delivery and outcomes, building on the Institute of Public Care’s earlier development of the theory of change, evaluation framework, methodology and data collection tools. It also involves managing relationships with stakeholders throughout the delivery phase. This is a professional evaluation and research service for an education-based emotional wellbeing programme, with activity taking place in Wiltshire schools. The buying organisation is Wiltshire Council, a sub-central public authority. The related service classification is training services, although the procurement description centres on independent programme evaluation rather than the delivery of training itself.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure with the specific method recorded as unknown. It was a single-lot requirement. Oxford Brookes Enterprises Limited was selected as supplier on 3 September 2026. The awarded value is £32,800 excluding VAT and £37,440 including VAT. The award contract period runs from 18 September 2026 to 31 March 2027, with the planned signature date of 18 September 2026. The award is recorded as active while the tender status is complete. Evaluation of the requirement follows the council’s continuation of previously commissioned work on the Emotional Me Programme, including its theory of change, evaluation framework, methodology, data collection tools and stakeholder management.

This opportunity indicates demand from Wiltshire Council for independent evaluation of school-based emotional wellbeing programmes, particularly where the evaluator must assess a later delivery phase using a structured framework. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in programme evaluation, applied research and education settings. Relevant strengths include developing or applying theories of change, designing evaluation methodologies, creating data collection tools, analysing programme delivery and outcomes, and managing relationships with schools and other stakeholders. Credibility would also depend on being able to continue an established evaluation approach across programme phases, work independently for a public authority and coordinate evidence collection with participants and delivery partners. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that this requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist organisation rather than only a large consultancy.
