REQUIREMENT The objective of the consultancy is to evaluate and report on the impact of Towards a National Collection in a focussed number of areas of the cultural heritage and academic sectors, linked to the programme's Key Performance Indicators (Annex 1). The consultancy will fall into two phases, representing mid-term (July 2023) and end-of-programme (November 2024) evaluation, both constructed around the same key components and approaches. The evaluation should include assessment of the programme's impact on cultural institutions' policy and strategy, digital capacity and capability, and ambitions for growth and development of their digital collections.

The consultant would work closely with the Programme Director, providing her with content and an executive summary to inform her preparation of full Policy Recommendations following the mid-term evaluation, and a final end-of-programme evaluation report on the overall impact (in the above key areas) of Towards a National Collection.
