## Notice

AWARDED - We have identified approximately 65 programmes of work over the next five years, covering areas such as research, knowledge exchange, market intelligence and market development. These programmes are likely to contain several smaller projects and different work streams that help to drive success of the overall programme objectives. AHDB Programme Managers in these areas (with guidance from the AHDB Evaluation Team) are responsible for drafting evaluation plans, and capturing appropriate data throughout the life of the programme. Various pieces of evaluation work will then need to be conducted for each overarching programme of work, examples are listed under lot one below. Some Programme Managers will complete full evaluations themselves and others will utilise suppliers to complete some or all of the evaluation work. We require the evaluations to take place at the end of the programme or activity, and at suitable interim points. Many of these evaluations will include a cost-benefit analysis or assessment of return-on-investment. It is important that the evaluations which are produced are robust and evidence based.
