## Summary

The British Film Institute (BFI) has completed a tender process for the "Mid-Term Evaluation of BFI NETWORK". This initiative falls within the evaluation consultancy services sector and targets the UK film industry, aiming to support early career filmmakers through a National Lottery funded programme. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure, with the tender period closing on 5th July 2021. The contract, awarded to Burns Owens Partnership Ltd, began on 20th July 2021 and is set to conclude on 16th December 2021. The award notice was published on 10th November 2021.

This evaluation tender presents significant opportunities for consultancy firms experienced in evaluation services, particularly those with a focus on arts or film. Businesses capable of conducting thorough assessments of funded projects, including evaluating career development and programme impact, will be well positioned to succeed in similar procurement opportunities. Firms with a strong track record in delivering services to support diversity and address industry under-representation may find particularly advantageous openings within this context.

## Notice

BFI is seeking a contractor with the appropriate knowledge and expertise to undertake a mid-term evaluation of its National Lottery funded talent development programme, BFI NETWORK. BFI NETWORK exists to support, develop and champion early career filmmakers (writers, directors and producers) looking to kick-start their careers. National Lottery funding covers investments in short film, feature development and professional development. BFI NETWORK is a UK-wide collaboration between BFI, national film organisations and leading cultural venues; as such, activities are delivered, and funding decisions made, by a wide range of regional and national partners. NETWORK's opportunities are open access and work to directly address under-representation in the industry, in line with the focus areas of the BFI Diversity Standards. The BFI wishes to commission a Mid-term Evaluation of BFI NETWORK to assess how funded activities are being implemented across the UK, and evaluate the progress being made towards achieving its objectives and outcomes. In addition to a process evaluation, we expect an impact evaluation which will be an early assessment of the outcomes and impacts of funded activities (for example, career development, career progression, skill development and addressing geographic imbalances). NETWORK, as a project, launched in 2014 and was partly re-modelled in 2017/18. This evaluation will review activity from 2017/18 onwards.
