Title

Approaches to support how we demonstrate our impact

2.2

Description of the goods or services required

Our vision is for every person who needs support to live the life that matters to them

We want to lead and support improvement in Wales by creating an environment of working together and developing new relationships across the Welsh public service.

Our purpose is to build confidence in the workforce, and lead and support improvement in social care.

As a relatively new organisation, we are seeking expertise and independent support to help us demonstrate the impact of our work.

There are two specific elements of evaluation which require support from an external independent Supplier. Each of the two evaluations are separate programmes but successful Suppliers will need to collaborate to ensure synergy and learning between the programmes.

Lot 1 requires working with Social Care Wales to demonstrate our impact on delivering our strategic aims.

Lot 2 requires working with Social Care Wales to deliver our Improvement function measured from the lens of the national Care and Support at Home Strategy, which has been developed through collaboration and is being implemented by a wide range of partners, with Social Care Wales leading and supporting improvement.
