The award has a value of £11,994,312.50 and was published on 10th May 2018, following the completion of the tender stage.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the fields of development impact evaluation and related academic services.

Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to register their interest, potentially contributing to innovative solutions in impact evaluation while expanding their market reach within the international development sector.

## Notice

The objective is to establish a high quality, inter-disciplinary academic centre to innovate in the field of impact evaluation; design, commission and implement impact evaluations; and promote the uptake and use of evidence from impact evaluations. This should be delivered through a consortium consisting of the Research Director and Intellectual Leadership Team who have already been appointed through a separate tender and the Programme Directorate. The purpose of CEDIL is to drive forward the field of impact evaluation and development evaluation both theoretically and in practice. CEDIL will act as an international focal point and develop and demonstrate new and innovative methodologies for impact evaluation and evidence accumulation.
