The evaluation contract, spanning 29 months until June 2025 with a budget of £250,000, aims to provide evidence on partnership working to support programme delivery and wider sectors. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period ends on 28th November 2022. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in evaluation consultancy services and the design and execution of research and development. Small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations, are well-suited to compete. The contract duration and budget offer potential growth opportunities, with a focus on sustainability and legacy within the sector. ## Notice The National Lottery Community Fund (the Fund) is seeking to procure a suitable supplier (an individual organisation or a consortium with a lead supplier) for an independent evaluation of Healthy Communities Together (HCT). This Invitation to Tender (ITT) sets out the context for this work, the procurement timescales and the services required. The Fund is seeking to procure an evaluation contract as the HCT grant holders move into delivery of their full grants to understand the change that is enabled through partnership working. The learning strand delivered by The King's Fund (TKF) as part of the HCT programme explores what it means to work in partnership, how to do it and what partnerships do to work effectively together. The evaluation will provide additional and important evidence about what partnership working enables - the difference working in partnership makes and in what context. The supplier is expected to work alongside the learning strand and ensure that the evaluation evidence dovetails with the learning. The evaluation will: * Provide an evidence base about partnership working that supports delivery of the HCT programme. * Provide an evidence base that supports the wider sectors in the design, development and delivery of partnership working. * Support with sustainability and legacy of the HCT programme, so that the investment has the greatest value and we share what we've learned with others. The supplier is expected to produce evidence for the priority evaluation audiences at different points in the contract, including emerging evidence and a final summative output. We anticipate that emerging evidence might be shared twice yearly and we intend to work flexibly with the supplier to ensure that important findings are shared at useful points in time. This will be a 29-month contract until June 2025, with a maximum budget of PS250,000 including expenses (excluding VAT). This contract will be subject to the Fund's standard terms and conditions for over PS10,000 (https://www.tnlcommunityfund.org.uk/about/customer-service/supplier-zone/terms-and-conditions). A submission received as part of this tender process shall constitute acceptance of these terms and conditions, so bidders are advised to review these.
