## Summary

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames is seeking bids for the "Independent Evaluation of the Trailblazer Programme." This procurement falls under the industry category of evaluation consultancy services and is based in London, United Kingdom. The process is in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 5th December 2017. The total contract value is £30,000, and the expected contract duration is from 18th December 2017 to 30th September 2018. This procurement follows an open procedure, allowing any interested party to submit a proposal.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in evaluation consultancy services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Those with experience in assessing social programmes and an understanding of homelessness solutions would be particularly well-suited to compete. By participating in this independent evaluation, businesses can not only showcase their expertise but also potentially influence future funding and service delivery models across Kingston, Sutton, and Merton Councils.

## Notice

The Royal Borough of Kingston (as lead authority) is one of three Greater London authorities to secure PS1m in trailblazer funding to support innovative solutions to homelessness. As part of the trailblazer, three different delivery models are being tested, across the boroughs. We are looking for someone to delivery an independent evaluation that will be used to shape future service delivery in Kingston, Sutton and Merton Councils. It will also provide the basis for potential future funding bids and the realignment of available funding.
