## Notice

The University of Plymouth will be inviting Tenders for the programme evaluation of the E-health Productivity & Innovation Cornwall & Isles of Scilly (EPIC) - which is taking a new, user led approach to take digital health in Cornwall & Isles of Scilly. EPIC is a project part funded by the European Regional Development Fund that will use a new, user led approach to take digital health in Cornwall & Isles of Scilly from a nascent market to one which is more developed, productive, accepted and embedded within the health and care sector to drive economic growth and productivity. EPIC is being led by the University of Plymouth (UoP), who will be the accountable body for ERDF. It will be delivered in partnership with a range of delivery and strategic partners to ensure healthcare professionals, commissioners, policy makers and innovators can drive and adopt change. Creative England is a key delivery partner in the EPIC programme. The programme evaluation should identify what difference the project is making and why this is the case. The successful Tenderer will be required to design detailed research questions alongside SME's and sector stakeholders to reflect both the evaluation measures and the target groups: both formative and summative elements of the evaluation need to be included.
