## Summary

The procurement process concerns the "Fisheries and Seafood Scheme (FaSS) Evaluation Framework," commissioned by the Defra Network eTendering Portal. This project falls under the research consultancy services category (CPV code: 73210000) and takes place in the United Kingdom. The tender has been completed, with the procurement method classified as an open procedure below the threshold. The contract period commenced on 23rd November 2020 and is set to conclude on 5th March 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research consultancy, particularly those with a focus on evaluation frameworks and impact assessments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, given their ability to demonstrate innovative approaches to monitoring and evaluation. The findings from this project may not only contribute to the development of the FaSS but also enhance future bidding prospects for firms invested in similar governmental or public sector projects.

## Notice

Research into developing an evaluation framework is being commissioned as an integral part of the FaSS. It is intended to support evidence gathering to demonstrate good value for money, public value for public goods, and the impact of spend. There is a very strong government drive for evaluations to provide spending accountability; as detailed in the Magenta Book, evidence should be generated that can demonstrate an intervention's impact and wider outcomes. With HM Treasury and Cabinet Office guidance increasingly looking to justify spend, evidence of effectiveness is paramount for Spending Review and in response to scrutiny and challenge from public accountability bodies. The evaluation framework should also provide learning opportunities to shape the delivery of the scheme as it evolves and generate wider knowledge of administering funds through the new scheme. Therefore, it is crucial to establish an evaluation framework and strategy ahead of the launch of the FaSS. This invitation to tender is for research to develop an effective monitoring and evaluation framework and strategy, in order to review the process and impact of the FaSS following scheme launch.
