## Summary

The BFI is undertaking a procurement process for the "Mid-Term Evaluation of BFI NETWORK," aimed at assessing its National Lottery funded talent development programme. This open tender, which falls under the classification of evaluation consultancy services, is currently active and set to conclude on 5th July 2021. The contract period is scheduled to start from 20th July 2021 and will run until 16th December 2021. The buying organisation, BFI, is located in London, United Kingdom, and strives to support early career filmmakers across the UK through this evaluation initiative.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with experience in programme evaluations, impact assessments, and diversity-focused initiatives. Companies that are small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as this project aligns with their capabilities. Given the emphasis on addressing under-representation in the film industry and promoting talent development, businesses with insights into creative industries and those that can demonstrate expertise in handling public funding projects would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

BFI is seeking a contractor with the appropriate knowledge and expertise to undertake a mid-term evaluation of its National Lottery funded talent development programme, BFI NETWORK. BFI NETWORK exists to support, develop and champion early career filmmakers (writers, directors and producers) looking to kick-start their careers. National Lottery funding covers investments in short film, feature development and professional development. BFI NETWORK is a UK-wide collaboration between BFI, national film organisations and leading cultural venues; as such, activities are delivered, and funding decisions made, by a wide range of regional and national partners. NETWORK's opportunities are open access and work to directly address under-representation in the industry, in line with the focus areas of the BFI Diversity Standards. The BFI wishes to commission a Mid-term Evaluation of BFI NETWORK to assess how funded activities are being implemented across the UK, and evaluate the progress being made towards achieving its objectives and outcomes. In addition to a process evaluation, we expect an impact evaluation which will be an early assessment of the outcomes and impacts of funded activities (for example, career development, career progression, skill development and addressing geographic imbalances). NETWORK, as a project, launched in 2014 and was partly re-modelled in 2017/18. This evaluation will review activity from 2017/18 onwards.
