This tender, titled "Evaluation of the Systems Research Programme," falls under the research and development services category and was published on 29 July 2019. The procurement is currently in the active tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 29 August 2019. The contract is expected to commence on 20 September 2019 and will run until 30 April 2020, inviting services primarily from the United Kingdom and other specified delivery areas. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in research and consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in system evaluations and programme assessments. Organisations that can demonstrate a strong understanding of governmental processes and academic collaborations would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Given the focus on internal evaluation and actionable recommendations, firms with experience in similar projects or methodologies would find this opportunity particularly relevant for strategic growth. ## Notice Defra is seeking to commission a process and impact evaluation of the Systems Research Programme. The overall aim of the evaluation will be to identify what is working well, and less well about the development of system frameworks, products, governance, and methodology, to highlight any early impact the programme has had. The intention of the evaluation is to provide actionable recommendations for the second year of the programme, alongside any recommendations for applying systems thinking more widely within Defra. The evaluation will provide analysis and recommendations at the end of Year 1, and specify key priorities for the second year of the evaluation. It is anticipated that all five system areas and the design authority will be included in the evaluation. The focus of the evaluation is intended to be internal, engaging with Defra (and potentially the wider Defra group) and academics engaged in the programme - it is not anticipated that external stakeholders will be engaged.
