II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Fund is seeking to procure an evaluation contract as the HCT grant holders move into delivery of their full grants to understand the change that is enabled through partnership working.
The learning strand delivered by TKF as part of the HCT programme explores what it means to work in partnership, how to do it and what partnerships do to work effectively together. The evaluation will provide additional and important evidence about what partnership working enables – the difference working in partnership makes and in what context. The supplier is expected to work alongside the learning strand and ensure that the evaluation evidence dovetails with the learning.
The evaluation will:
* Provide an evidence base about partnership working that supports delivery of the HCT programme.
* Provide an evidence base that supports the wider sectors in the design, development and delivery of partnership working.
* Support with sustainability and legacy of the HCT programme, so that the investment has the greatest value and we share what we’ve learned with others.
The supplier is expected to produce evidence for the priority evaluation audiences at different points in the contract, including emerging evidence and a final summative output. We anticipate that emerging evidence might be shared twice yearly and we intend to work flexibly with the supplier to ensure that important findings are shared at useful points in time.
