## Summary

The UK Shared Business Services Limited has completed a procurement process titled "UK SBS CR19001 Audience of the Future Challenge Evaluation", which falls under the category of research and development services and related consultancy services. The procurement method used was selective, with a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender was initially set to end on 31 January 2019, and the contract period extended from 25 February 2019 to 17 February 2022. The total contract value is £270,400, and the evaluation required aims to assess the impact of the Audience of the Future Challenge programme across the South West region of England.

This opportunity allows businesses specialising in research and market evaluation to engage in significant projects funded by the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, given their suitability for this tender. Firms offering consultancy, market research, and statistical analysis services would be well-placed to compete effectively, contributing to important assessments of government-funded initiatives that aim to drive innovation and impact in their respective sectors.

## Notice

The UK Research and Innovation- Innovate UK had a requirement for an evaluation to assess the extent to which the Audience of the Future Challenge (AotF) is making or has made an impact taking into account its original aims. The evaluation needs to test the extent to which the programme will deliver the outcomes and impact of the delivery plan and the extent to which these are attributable to ISCF funding. This requirement was advertised through the BEIS Research and Evaluation Framework CR150025BIS- Lot 3 Programme and Pilot Evaluation
