## Summary

The procurement process titled "Provision of a National Evaluation Framework" was initiated by Health Education England (HEE), targeting evaluation consultancy services in the United Kingdom. The tender, which is now complete, had a total contract value of £9 million and aimed to establish a framework of evaluators for various delivery activities across England. The contract period commenced on 21 February 2022 and will conclude on 20 February 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in evaluation consultancy services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies with expertise in planning, conducting, and reporting evaluations will be well-suited for this contract, as it aims to support a diverse range of projects throughout England.

## Notice

Through this tender process, HEE is seeking to secure a diverse, highly skilled, and agile framework of evaluators to ensure that its projects, programmes, interventions, and investments are (here after referred to as "delivery activities") measured, proportionate and outcomes are ready to be appropriately shared. The National Evaluation Framework (herein after referred to as the 'NEF') will constitute a wide range of individuals and organisations (evaluators) with a broad range of expertise in evaluation processes and techniques - available to provide targeted support for the design and/or delivery of international, national, regional, and local workforce delivery activities across England. The expertise of the NEF will be commissioned via a formal procurement framework such that it will allow for flexible and responsive contracting to deploy appropriate knowledge, skills, and evaluation expertise - as, when and where required.
