## Summary

The City of London Corporation has recently completed a procurement process for the "Central London Works Evaluation," an initiative aimed at measuring the impact of a key Work and Health Programme supporting around 21,000 residents in Central London. The service, classified under Evaluation consultancy services, was delivered through a selective and restricted procurement method that involved a two-stage procedure. The contract, awarded on April 12, 2019, has a total value of £250,000 and will run for five years, commencing on April 30, 2019, and ending on May 1, 2024. The procurement aimed to appoint an independent evaluator capable of producing findings and recommendations to enhance the programme, with the tender period for submissions concluding on January 29, 2019.

This tender presents excellent growth opportunities for businesses specialising in evaluation and consultancy services, particularly those with experience in public health and employment programmes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are highly encouraged to engage in such procurement processes, given the emphasis on innovative methodologies and value for money. Companies well-versed in delivering impactful evaluations, especially those tailored to diverse populations facing labour market barriers, will be in a strong position to compete for future contracts of this nature.
