The brief

The Big Lottery Fund (“the Fund”) is seeking to procure a suitably qualified Service Provider to provide evaluation services for the Local Sustainability Fund (LSF).

The LSF is a £20 million programme delivered by the Fund on behalf of the Office for Civil Society (OCS) and aims to support Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations in England to become stronger, more resilient and more sustainable.

The evaluation services will support the delivery and measure the impact of the Local Sustainability Fund (LSF).

The evaluation for this programme will last approximately 18 months and the successful bidder will be required to provide evaluation and learning services to the Fund which demonstrate the impact of the LSF on the organisations receiving funding and how effective the programme has been in achieving its aims.

The Service Provider will be required to work with LSF grant holders and staff at the Fund to analyse how well the common needs of VCSE organisations have been addressed by the programme and measure the impact of the LSF on the relevance, resilience and sustainability of medium sized VCSE organisations.

An evaluator will need to test how successful the LSF has been in developing the organisational capability of the organisations receiving funding.

A strong methodology will also identify any previous support the organisation has had and will analyse whether or not this previous support has been influential in a) accessing the LSF and b) determining how best to embed new strengths sought through the LSF.
