Notice Title

Final Evaluation of the Computational Foundry Operation

Notice Description

Swansea University's Computational Foundry, a European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) operation, invites tenders for the provision of its final evaluation. As part of the evaluation of the 2014-2020 round of ERDF funding, the Welsh European Funding Office (WEFO) requires beneficiaries to undertake a robust programme of monitoring and evaluation. Whilst the 2007-2013 programmes focused on implementation, or 'what works', the emphasis for operations funded in the 2014-2020 programme is on identifying and providing evidence to support outcomes/results and impacts to understand 'why' and 'how' an intervention works.The Computational Foundry began in 2015 and had undergone an inception and mid-term evaluation in 2019. The final evaluation of the operation has now been awarded, using the theory of change logic model developed during the mid-term evaluation, to evaluate against that model and the recent data collected.
