## Summary

The University of Birmingham is conducting a tender for "Summative Assessment ARLI Project Evaluation Services" within the evaluation consultancy services industry, located in Edgbaston, West Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the active tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 9 December 2019. The estimated budget for this project is up to £12,500, inclusive of VAT, and it aims to assess the impact of the ERDF-funded ARLI Project, which supports small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The contract is expected to start on 1 January 2020 and conclude on 31 March 2020.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations that specialise in evaluation and consultancy services. Businesses that can provide robust assessment methodologies and insights into project performance would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The project aims to deliver a comprehensive evaluation report that will not only gauge the project's success but also provide critical insights for ongoing and future initiatives within the local economy.

## Notice

The Alternative Raw materials with Low Impact (ARLI) project is a part funded ERDF initiative established to support SMEs, which started in July 2017 and will complete at the end of June 2020. In line with latest ERDF guidance published in August 2017, the University of Birmingham invites tenders to undertake an evaluation of the ARLI Project and provide a final summative/evaluation assessment report together with a summary (both word and pdf documents) in line with the requirements of the ERDF summative assessment guidance and further requirements noted within the tender document. The Summative assessment is intended to provide insights into project performance and impact. The summative assessment should help us to understand the difference that the ARLI Project has made in the local economy, communities and beneficiary groups. Although the value of this procurement is below the EU Public Procurement Threshold the University has self-imposed a 14 day full open publication of this tender. The budget for the evaluation service is up to a maximum of PS12,500 inclusive of VAT for ARLI. Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
