This evaluation will compare the effectiveness of different approaches and aims to improve Local Authority performance and outcomes for children. The tender period closed on 1st June 2018, and the contract is active from 2nd July 2018 until 2nd March 2020, with a contract value of £554,460. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in research and development services and related consultancy, particularly those with experience in educational evaluations or support programmes for local authorities. Companies that can demonstrate a robust understanding of local context and evidence-based practices in improving public services will be well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice This is a joint evaluation of the Department's improvement and intervention programmes and the Partners in Practice (PiP) support for Local Authority (LA) sector improvement. The evaluation will include a multi-stage approach drawing on the methodologies successfully used in our previous evaluations. This will enable us to understand to what extent the improvement and interventions programmes and the PiP sector improvement support have had an impact on improving LA performance and, ultimately, outcomes for children. It will also enable us to compare the effectiveness of the different approaches and understand how local context affects the success or otherwise of the improvement support. Closing Date for EOI is: Friday 1st June at 5pm ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca58b657-5f07-40b3-b020-955ce45786fb | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | 1 Jun 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 30 Jul 2018 | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2018 - 2 Mar 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £554,460 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 2JF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ECORYS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 19 Dec 2018 at 15:06 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca58b657-5f07-40b3-b020-955ce45786fb - 19 Dec 2018 at 14:43 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca58b657-5f07-40b3-b020-955ce45786fb - 19 Dec 2018 at 11:35 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca58b657-5f07-40b3-b020-955ce45786fb - 19 Dec 2018 at 11:32 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca58b657-5f07-40b3-b020-955ce45786fb - 18 May 2018 at 08:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1837aed5-b853-4c6f-8b64-91e128a828bb ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca58b657-5f07-40b3-b020-955ce45786fb 19th December 2018 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1837aed5-b853-4c6f-8b64-91e128a828bb 18th May 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2ca392ce-d11d-401a-bb5e-c46b4735c771 Expression of Interest - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/13070715-887e-48a6-b636-d8ccc091e38f EOI Form - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/569fff26-e877-4121-8ea3-1a492cc25b8b Contract DFERPPU 2018/028 (Redacted) ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
