## Summary

The Education and Training Foundation has awarded a contract for the "College Governance and Leadership workforce development impact evaluation project," valued at £177,900. This project falls within the research services industry and aims to evaluate the impact of various college governance and leadership programmes funded by the Department for Education during the 2021-22 academic year. The contract period commenced on 17 January 2022 and concluded on 29 July 2022. The procurement process followed an open procedure, with the award notice published on 29 March 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research consultancy and evaluation services, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs). Businesses with expertise in impact evaluation, strategic leadership, and educational programme assessment would be particularly well-suited to engage in similar future projects. Companies capable of demonstrating effective methodologies for measuring educational impact could significantly benefit from upcoming contracts in this sector.

## Notice

The Education and Training Foundation (ETF) have awarded a contract for the provision of services to deliver an independent impact evaluation, with an embedded brief process evaluation, of college governance and leadership workforce development programmes delivered by the ETF with Department for Education (DfE) grant-funding in 2021-22. The evaluation will assess impact on participants' professional practice, provider performance and learner outcomes (where appropriate), compare the effectiveness of different programmes within three core programme areas (governance, strategic leadership, middle management) in meeting their aims and objectives, recommend improvements to strengthen programme quality and maximise impact, and inform future programme investment and design decisions. The project will follow good practice in impact measurement and HM Treasury evaluation guidance, analyse programme management information and participant survey data supplied by the ETF, and collect other primary data through interviews, surveys and impact case studies.
