## Summary

The Home Office has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Evaluation Service for the Early Intervention Youth Fund (EIYF)" tender, classified under evaluation consultancy services. The contract, valued at £699,073, was awarded to Ecorys UK Limited on 22 December 2018, with the contract period beginning on 5 March 2019 and concluding on 31 March 2020. This selective procurement was facilitated through a call-off from a framework agreement, focusing on projects aimed at preventing youth involvement in serious violence across the United Kingdom. The tender period closed on 23 November 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in evaluation consultancy, particularly those with capabilities in impact and process evaluations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that focus on social research or policy evaluations would be particularly well-suited to compete for future contracts in this area, as successful delivery of the services will directly contribute to the delivery of effective early intervention projects aimed at reducing violent behaviour among young people in various communities.

## Notice

There is robust evidence that early interventions are effective in reducing violent behaviour. As such, a key commitment in the Serious Violence Strategy was to launch an Early Intervention Youth Fund that would support early intervention projects focused on preventing young people (under 18s and in some instances young adults) getting involved in serious violence. The Early Intervention Youth Fund of PS22 million is already supporting 29 projects in England and Wales. Over PS17.7m has already been allocated to Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) working with Community Safety Partnerships (or similar local partnerships) to support targeted early intervention and prevention activity with young people. The Home Office has now appointed an Evaluation Partner to work with successful PCCs during the delivery of their projects. More specifically, the Home Office has commissioned: - A feasibility study to assess the feasibility of carrying out a robust impact evaluation of the intervention projects. - An impact evaluation. Depending on the outcome of the feasibility study, the Supplier shall design and conduct an impact evaluation using an experimental research design (or quasi-experimental design if experimental is deemed not feasible). - If an impact evaluation is not feasible for some interventions, the Supplier shall design and conduct a process evaluation across these Early Intervention Youth Fund projects to assess the underlying processes and mechanisms through which these interventions work.
