The procurement is in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 18th August 2022. The challenge involves an independent impact evaluation of the Faraday Battery Challenge Phase 2, aiming to assess the program's impact and outcomes. Suppliers interested in participating can attend a Supplier Engagement day on 18th August 2022 to discuss the opportunity further. The procurement process offers opportunities for businesses, particularly those providing research and consultancy services in the UK. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate. UK Shared Business Services Limited, based in Swindon, England, is the buying organisation for this procurement. Interested businesses can engage with UKRI on the stated dates to understand the requirements and deliverables of the Faraday Battery Challenge evaluation process. ## Notice UKRI would like to hold a Supplier Engagement day on Thursday 18th August 2022 from 10am-12pm via an online Teams meeting, to discuss this new opportunity. UKRI is seeking to commission an independent impact evaluation of the Faraday Battery Challenge Phase 2 with the aim to understand the extent to which FBC2 is continuing to make an impact, taking into account its original goals and building on the work undertaken during Phase 1. The evaluation needs to test the extent to which the programme will deliver the outcomes and impact as expected and outlined in the delivery plan and the extent to which these are attributable to programme funding. As well as interim outcomes, appointed evaluators should have a key role in defining evaluation scope and identifying impacts that can be realised within the Challenge Lifecyle. It is expected that the evaluation will consider each strand of the programme in detail, as well as the overall impact of the combined programme. The evaluation is expected to take place over two phases (more detail on each phase is provided in the specification): Phase 1 - Framework Report and any supplementary baseline work Phase 2 - Final Impact Report, to also include a synthesis report of Phase 1 and Phase 2 In addition to this, we would like the successful bidder to provide us with progress updates between Phases, which could include case studies on key aspects of the programme which could be presented to key stakeholders. This will also enable the Challenge to demonstrate successes and impacts throughout the three year programme. It is anticipated that UKRI will go to market shortly after the Supplier Engagement day via the RM6126 Research & Insights DPS.
