## Summary

In October 2023, Museums Galleries Scotland has initiated a tender process for "Delivering Change: Delivery Phase Evaluation," a project focused on transforming the museum sector in Scotland to be more inclusive and engaging. The project involves a structural shift over three years towards a more people-centric approach. The delivery phase is scheduled from October 2023 to December 2026, aiming to implement changes in learning, leadership, and funding. The tender is open to businesses both within and outside Scotland, with specific locations and deadlines outlined for interested parties.

This tender opportunity provides a platform for businesses involved in services related to project monitoring and evaluation to contribute to a significant transformation in the museum sector. Companies specializing in project data analysis, monitoring tools development, evaluation methods, and reporting are well-suited to compete for this contract. Museums Galleries Scotland, as the buying organization, aims to partner with a contractor to conduct extensive monitoring and evaluation activities throughout the Delivery Phase of the project, making it an ideal opportunity for businesses with expertise in this domain.

## Notice

Delivering Change is a National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) and Scottish Government-sponsored project. This programme represents a structural and systemic shift towards a museum sector which is truly inclusive, trusted and engaged with by all of Scotland's people. Recognising the fact of systemic exclusion in the sector, this three-year project offers a flexible approach which will enable museums to place people at the heart of their work. In May 2023, the programme completed a 9-month Development Phase. During this period an expert advisory group worked with the MGS-based project team to establish a plan for training, support, interventions, and funding to support change in Scotland's museums. The development phase was further informed by extensive research, conducted by organisations including Museums Galleries Scotland (MGS). The development phase identified three strands to the delivery of this necessary change: Learning, Leadership, and Funding. The delivery phase will run from October 2023 to December 2026. MGS is currently seeking to appoint a contractor to undertake project monitoring and evaluation for the Delivery Phase.
