## Summary

The Kirklees Council is conducting a Preliminary Market Consultation for the project titled "KMCSS-027 Kirklees Learning and Evaluation Project". Located in Huddersfield, Yorkshire and the Humber, this initiative falls under the category of research and development services and related consultancy services. Currently in the planning stage, the consultation aims to gather market insights, with a key engagement end date set for 14th December 2020. This project seeks to foster a system-wide learning and evaluation culture across the Kirklees Partnership, addressing impacts related to Covid-19 and enhancing community engagement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research, evaluation, and consultancy services, particularly those focused on social and economic research. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to participate, as the consultancy's objectives align with enhancing service delivery and community outcomes. Engaging in this preliminary consultation may allow these businesses to shape the forthcoming procurement process and secure contracts that contribute to their growth and sustainability.

## Notice

Kirklees Council is carrying out a preliminary market consultation (PMC). This is not an invitation to tender or a request for formal expressions of interest. The Council, as contracting authority is issuing a request for information only to assess the reaction of the market and thus make any potential procurement process more focused and efficient. The key outcome for this project is for a system-wide culture of learning and evaluation to be embedded across the Kirklees Partnership. The Learning and Evaluation project needs to ensure a meaningful and consistent approach to evaluation; support system-wide innovation and coordination; contribute to improved and sustainable citizen and partner engagement; and enable ongoing shared learning and improved outcomes across Kirklees. The evaluation objectives will include understanding the direct and indirect impact of Covid-19 and our responses to it at an organisational, system and population level. Several engagement and evaluation activities have already taken place across Kirklees to explore and understand some of these issues. The Council would like to gain information from the market regarding several issues related to the potential procurement exercise. Further information on the PMC is available for interested organisations to access on the YORtender website - www.yortender.co.uk
