## Summary

The procurement process involves the UK Shared Business Services Limited as the buying organisation, which is overseeing the evaluation of the Creative Industries Clusters Programme, classified under research and development consultancy services. The tender's award notice was published on 23rd March 2020, marking the completion of the process initiated with bids due by 19th February 2020. The contract period extends from 9th March 2020 to 28th June 2024, and it was sourced via a selective procurement method through a dynamic purchasing system.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research, evaluation, and consultancy services, particularly those capable of providing independent assessments of programmes within the creative industries. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete, leveraging their agility and specialised expertise to deliver comprehensive evaluation frameworks and reports that address the objectives of the Creative Industries Clusters Programme.

## Notice

***Please note this is an award notice, not a call for competition*** The final date and time for the submission of bids is Wednesday, 19th February 2020 at 11am. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal. UKRI is seeking to commission an independent evaluation of the Creative Industries Clusters Programme. The scope of the evaluation is to assess to what extent, and how, the CICP has achieved its objectives and intended impact. This assessment will be made through a Baseline Report, an Interim Evaluation Progress Report and an Impact Evaluation Report, with the development of an Evaluation Framework to commence first. Given the existing creative industry landscape, it will be important for the evaluation to distinguish impacts from other policy changes and influences (e.g. other Sector Deal Initiatives) and attribute the impact on the industry to ISCF funding, i.e. CICP. This has been sourced via the DPS Agreement (RM6018).
