This evaluation project is based in London, England, and aims to assess the effectiveness of various initiatives within the programme. The procurement method utilised is an open procedure, and key dates include the publication of the tender notice on 9th October 2018, with the tender period concluding on 20th November 2018. The awarded contract, valued at £48,236, has a contract period running from 2nd January 2019 to 31st March 2023. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the research and evaluation sectors, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Providers that specialise in quantitative impact assessments, process evaluations, and educational programme evaluations would find this opportunity well-suited, enabling them to contribute to impactful projects that will inform future policies and practices within the community and education sectors. ## Notice This project will evaluate the Children and Nature Programme, including the Nature Friendly Schools, Growing Care Farming and Community Forest and Woodland Outreach projects. The evaluation will seek to assess: - Whether the aims of each of the three projects have been achieved - The extent to which the interventions were responsible for any impacts or changes - What works for whom, in what circumstances and why? Each of the projects will be subject to a process evaluation. For the Growing Care Farming and Community Forest and Woodland Outreach projects, the evaluation will focus on implementation. For the Nature Friendly Schools project, in addition to a process evaluation, the ambition is to conduct a robust quantitative impact assessment of the outcomes for pupils and schools. The evaluation will provide high quality evidence and learning to inform future policy and practice. Findings for each of the three projects should be reported, as well as an overarching programme evaluation which synthesises learning across the three projects.
