The contract period is scheduled to commence on 25 October 2021 and conclude on 31 March 2022, with a total budget of £59,000 and a minimum value of £45,000. This tender presents valuable growth opportunities for businesses specialising in research and evaluation consultancy services. Companies with expertise in delivering independent evaluations, particularly in education or workforce development, would be well-suited to compete. The project seeks to assess the effectiveness of mentoring programmes, making it ideal for organisations that can demonstrate a strong track record in researching educational outcomes and providing actionable insights to enhance programme effectiveness. ## Notice The Education and Training Foundation is seeking a tenderer to deliver an independent process evaluation for Department for Education (DfE) grant-funded further education (FE) workforce development in the mentoring programme area. The evaluation will consider participants' perceptions of how the programme affects their professional practice, provider performance and learner outcomes. It will compare the effectiveness of different programme strands in meeting the programme objectives, recommend improvements to strengthen programme quality and maximise impact, and inform future programme investment and design decisions. This is a market engagement activity for the Evaluation of Mentoring Training.
