Notice Information

Notice Title

Initial, Mid term and Final Evaluation of the Intensive Learning Academy

Notice Description

The University of South Wales (USW) Leading Digital Transformation Intensive Learning Academy (ILA) Programme invites tenders for Project Assurance support and evaluation. Evaluation is recognised by funders, stakeholders and management as an important part of an operational and strategic reporting and development process. It is believed that the best results of the evaluations, particularly the inception and mid-term, can indicate how performance and reach can be improved. The final evaluation will be required to show the impact of the programme with the sectors we work with.Underpinned by the concept of theory-based evaluation, evaluations are being commissioned during the early stages of an operation. It is anticipated that data other than that collected to support the formal output indicators will need to be gathered, in order to demonstrate outcomes and impacts in the short, medium and longer term.In order to deliver this, evaluations are being commissioned as a baseline from which to measure progress against through to an interim formative evaluation and longer-term outcomes and impacts through summative evaluation. The initial evaluation will focus on evaluating the Intensive Learning Academy (ILA) during the initial and mid-term evaluative phase, which will inform a final evaluation to be undertaken nearer to the operation's end date (31st March 2024).As part of the bid for this contract, potential contractors should primarily outline the rationale and methodological approach to the initial evaluation in sufficient detail. However, the contract is for complete evaluation, and bidders will also be required to provide an indicative rationale and approach, including aims and objectives, timescales and costs allocated with each element of the contract.NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Sell2Wales Web Site at https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=119255.The buyer has indicated that it will accept electronic responses to this notice via the Postbox facility.
