The programme aims to support Heritage Development Trusts in the UK with capacity building and project development grants worth £5 million. The evaluation will focus on project delivery, impact on beneficiaries and local areas, as well as insights from pilot HDTs in Great Yarmouth, Sunderland, and Coventry. The tender has a value of £90,000 and is currently in the active stage, with a tender deadline on 17th July 2023. This tender presents an opportunity for consultants experienced in programme evaluation and impact assessment within the heritage sector. Businesses skilled in designing and implementing evaluation plans, conducting in-depth studies, and developing toolkits for impact measurement are well-suited to compete. The procurement method is an open procedure, with electronic submission required. The commencement of the award period is set for 18th July 2023, allowing successful bidders to contribute to enhancing the effectiveness of the Heritage Development Trusts programme. ## Notice The Architectural Heritage Fund is working with the National Lottery Heritage Fund as a strategic partner for a capacity building programme targeted at the heritage trust sector, working alongside the Heritage Trust Network and other infrastructure support organisations where required. This PS5 million programme will provide capacity building support and project development grants to between 10 and 13 'Heritage Development Trusts' operating in locations of need and potential across the UK. We wish to appoint an external evaluation consultant for the programme, who will design and implement an evaluation plan to enable us to monitor and assess to what extent the project is achieving the programme aims. ### Lot Information Lot 1 We expect the evaluation to be based around four main areas to report on the social, economic, and environmental impact of the programme: 1. Project delivery - To evaluate AHF's performance in delivering the programme. This includes meeting the spend targets in the budget profile, achieving the right balance of geographical and level of HDTs, the amount and type of specialist support offered to grantees, and the fair distribution of grants, in line with our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policy. This quantitative information can be accessed through our internal database. 2. Impact on the beneficiaries - To assess evidence of capacity growth in terms of organisational development and the development of a portfolio of heritage assets, as well as the level of engagement and new partnerships with local stakeholders. We envisage this will be collected through the development of a resilience framework with a mix of self-assessment, discussion and interviews in relation to each Heritage Development Trust. 3. Impact on local areas - To evaluate the wider impacts of HDTs and the value they add to their local areas through the projects they deliver and the social benefits they bring, such as employment and skills, tourism, inward investment, new housing and community cohesion. While we appreciate that this is a large and complex task owing to the diversity of HDTs and how the outputs and impacts ripple out into their local areas, we would like the evaluator to build a toolkit or framework that allows the key outputs to be standardised to allow for impacts to be reported across the programme. In order to analyse the lasting impact of the HDTs' activities, this element of work should incorporate a longitudinal survey that will enable the gathering of data over ten years after the programme's completion. 4. Deep-dive learnings from pilot HDTs - To ensure the programme and its evaluation are maximising the insight able to be gleaned from the pilot phase of the HDTs, we wish to commission in-depth studies of the impact that three pilot HDTs have had within their local communities, including economic and social impact modelling on the change that HDT projects have fostered and interview-based insight into local perceptions of the value of conserved buildings and the role played by the HDTs. The chosen areas are: Great Yarmouth, Sunderland and Coventry. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017420-2023 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | 17 Jul 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £90,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE FUND(THE) | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E1 6AQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI42 Tower Hamlets | | Local authority | Tower Hamlets | | Electoral ward | Spitalfields & Banglatown | | Westminster constituency | Bethnal Green and Stepney | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services ### Codes - 66000000 - Financial and insurance services ## Release History - 19 Jun 2023 at 16:39 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017420-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://ahfund.org.uk/ - https://ahfund.org.uk/news/latest/external-evaluation-consultant-for-hdts-programme/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
