This sits in the upper-middle of the Business Services band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 57,319 valued Business Services tenders in our corpus.
Our Evidence and Impact Strategy sets out an ambition to increase the proportion of our funding supported by independent impact evaluations.
A key way for achieving this is through commissioning and publishing cross-Fund impact evaluations on themes linked to our missions (e.g. environmental sustainability or community connection).
To support this ambition, the Impact & Evaluation (I&E) Team is undertaking a project designed to: a. develop an approach for carrying out cross-Fund thematic evaluations b. test this approach through a pilot thematic evaluation c. make recommendations for embedding thematic evaluation into future practice.
While the Fund regularly commissions evaluations for specific programmes, undertaking an evaluation focused on a theme cutting across multiple portfolios is new.
This pilot evaluation will therefore generate both impact evidence on a theme, and methodological learning from the process to support in decisions about rolling this approach out more widely.
