## Summary

Natural England (NE) has awarded a contract for the Evaluation of their Cross-Organisational Science Evidence and Evaluation Strategy. The contract, valued at £144,977 GBP, was awarded to Ipsos MORI. The procurement method used was an Open procedure with the tender period ending on 11th November 2022. The contract is scheduled to start on 22nd December 2022 and conclude on 31st March 2025. The evaluation aims to assess the impact and implementation of the strategy across different phases in real-time to inform future strategies.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses experienced in environmental services to collaborate with Natural England in evaluating their strategy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly suited to engage in this developmental evaluation process. The contract was awarded through a competitive procurement process, providing a platform for businesses to contribute towards enhancing Natural England's scientific practices and organisational strategy development.

## Notice

Natural England (NE) wishes to appoint suitably experienced evaluators to work with us to evaluate the design, implementation and impact of the Science, Evidence and Evaluation Strategy throughout the remainder of its lifetime and inform its subsequent evolution. The evaluation will be delivered across three phases and will include both real-time learning and a summative element. The overarching focus is to learn to what extent has the SEE Strategy and its implementation resulted in the organisation achieving the ambitions set out in the strategy. NE wish to learn from this to improve delivery both of this strategy and of future strategies. As this is a complex and dynamic environment, NE wish to adopt a Developmental Evaluation (or similar) approach to allow for methodological flexibility and build real time insight into the implementation of the strategy. The evaluators will adopt a collaborative approach to work closely with the SEE Strategy team throughout.
