The brief

The BIS Research and Evaluation Framework will allow the procurement of research and evaluation services from a pre-selected group of service providers without going through a full procurement process.

The Framework complies with EU rules and is available to BIS and other Departments and agencies.

It replaces the current Framework Agreement, which has been running since 1 January 2012 and will end on 1 January 2016.

This has been widely used and well received by BIS analysts.

With no other Framework in place which suit BIS requirements, a new Framework is being commissioned to ensure that BIS continues to have access to high quality, efficient research and evaluation service providers.

The new Framework will run from 2 January 2016 to 2 January 2020.

The Framework establishes the terms and conditions under which the customer can enter into contracts for specified services.

It offers high quality research and evaluation service providers under 8 service areas detailed below.

These are core areas of activity for BIS.

These cover a wide range of methodological expertise.

We also want to draw on specialist expertise in a wide range of policy areas.

We recognise that not all organisations will have that detailed specialist knowledge.
