This services procurement process was initiated with a tender, aiming to evaluate the impact and outcomes of the CEMET programme funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). Key dates included the tender closing in September 2022 and the signing of the contract on the same date. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses providing Evaluation Consultancy services to engage in assessing the effectiveness of the CEMET programme. Suitable businesses with expertise in research methodology, understanding evaluation contexts, and meeting project deadlines can compete. The University of South Wales, as the buying organisation, seeks to partner with qualified suppliers who can showcase a clear understanding of the project's aims and demonstrate the capacity to deliver quality evaluation services within the specified timelines. ## Notice 1.1 The CEMET West Wales & the Valleys and East Wales (WWV & EW) programme invites tenders for its final evaluation. As part of the evaluation of the 2014-2020 round of European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) funding, the Welsh European Funding Office (WEFO) requires beneficiaries to undertake a robust programme of monitoring and evaluation. Whilst the 2007-13 programmes focused on implementation, the emphasis for operations funded in the 2014-2020 programme is on identifying and providing evidence to support outcomes / results and impacts to understand why and how the intervention works.1.2 Underpinned by the concept of theory-based evaluation, it is anticipated that data other than that collected to support the formal WEFO output indicators will need to be gathered, in order to demonstrate the outcomes and impact of the CEMET programme in the short, medium and longer term.1.3 Separate initial and mid-term evaluations for the CEMET WWV and EW operations were completed in April 2019 and December 2021 respectively. These reports were commissioned as a baseline from which to measure the overall progress of the operation in terms of outputs, outcomes and impact.The aim of CEMET is to provide assistance to those SMEs experiencing difficulties in accessing existing UK and Welsh R&D funding sources.CEMET undertakes short term, collaborative R&D projects with SMEs, focussing on the development (and if appropriate, commercialisation) of products and services that have the potential to support businesses across all sectors, but in particular, those 'Grand Challenge' areas identified within Science for Wales. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=123988 | | Notice type | S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Sep 2022 | | Submission deadline | 9 Sep 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 30 Sep 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH WALES | | Locality | PONTYPRIDD | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF37 1DL | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL51 Central Valleys and Bridgend | | Local authority | Rhondda Cynon Taf | | Electoral ward | Treforest | | Westminster constituency | Pontypridd | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | MILLER RESEARCH (UK | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79419000 - Evaluation consultancy services ## Release History - 30 Sep 2022 at 13:35 - Award - S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=123988 - 12 Aug 2022 at 17:02 - Tender - S2W Notice - Website Invitation to Tender Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=123988 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Notice/Download/DocumentDownload.aspx?id=AUG407960&idx=1 12th August 2022 - ITT - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Notice/Download/DocumentDownload.aspx?id=AUG407960&idx=2 12th August 2022 - Tender Terms and Conditions - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Notice/Download/DocumentDownload.aspx?id=AUG407960&idx=3 12th August 2022 - GDPR ## Notice URLs - https://www.miller-research.co.uk - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx - https://www.southwales.ac.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
