## Summary

City of Doncaster Council procured evaluation consultancy services for its externally funded Forces Families Project. The work covers designing the evaluation methodology, supporting staff, interviewing stakeholders, monitoring the project on an ongoing basis, providing updates to partners and producing a final evaluation report for the funder and Heritage Don. The requirement is primarily independent project evaluation and monitoring, with associated research, reporting and stakeholder-engagement activity. Delivery is for the council’s project in Doncaster. This is a public-sector services opportunity relevant to consultancies and specialist organisations that evaluate funded community, heritage or public-service projects and can combine structured evaluation methods with practical support for project teams and clear reporting to funders and delivery partners.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to HIDEN ARCHAEOLOGY AND HERITAGE LTD. on 21 June 2026. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one requirement, covering the complete service. The contract was signed on 21 June 2026, runs from 22 June 2026 to 31 May 2028, and is active. Its value is £5,000 excluding VAT and £6,000 including VAT. The award covers evaluation consultancy services. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and confirms that the procurement has concluded; it does not set out a scored evaluation basis or competitive tender process.

This award shows that City of Doncaster Council uses specialist external support to evaluate a funded Forces Families project over a substantial delivery period, at a modest consultancy scale. Competitors seeking similar work would need to demonstrate robust evaluation-methodology design, practical experience supporting staff and monitoring delivery, and the ability to conduct structured stakeholder interviews. They would also need to turn evidence into regular partner updates and a final report suitable for both a funder and a heritage organisation. Credibility would therefore depend on combining research and evaluation expertise with clear public-sector reporting, stakeholder management and an understanding of externally funded community or heritage projects. A small specialist consultancy can be well placed where it offers this focused combination of skills.
