The procurement falls under the category of "evaluation consultancy services" and is conducted through an open procedure. Interested parties must submit their proposals by 28th May 2019, with the contract expected to commence on 1st June 2019 and conclude by 30th September 2019. The total budget for this evaluation service is set at a maximum of £18,000, inclusive of VAT, and the tender is located in Edgbaston, West Midlands. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in evaluation consultancy services. Successful bidders will have the chance to engage with a prestigious educational institution and contribute to a significant project funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). Businesses with expertise in impact assessments, data analysis, and project evaluations will be well-positioned to compete for this contract, potentially leading to further engagements within the education sector and beyond. ## Notice The Advanced Materials Characterisation and Simulation Hub (AMCASH) project is a part funded ERDF initiative established to support SMEs, which started in Jan 2016 and will complete at the end of Dec 2019. In line with latest ERDF guidance published in August 2017, the University of Birmingham invites tenders to undertake an evaluation of the AMCASH Project and provide a final summative/evaluation assessment report together with a summary (both word and pdf document) in line with the requirements of the ERDF summative assessment guidance and further requirements noted within the tender document. The Summative assessment is intended to provide insights into project performance and impact. The summative assessment should help us to understand the difference that the AMCASH Project has made in the local economy, communities and beneficiary groups. Although the value of this procurement is below the EU Public Procurement Threshold the University has self-imposed a 20 day full open publication of this tender.
