Tender description

UKRI is committed to rigorous evaluation of all our key programmes, including the ISCF. UKRI would like to commission an independent evaluation of our investment in ISCF to date (Wave 1-3). The aim of the evaluation is to build an evidence base with which to judge the success and overall impact of the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund in order to: (i) inform ongoing and future improvements to the ISCF to maximise the value of public funding; (ii) to demonstrate the return on investment to taxpayers; (iii) build the evidence base on the impact of mission-oriented and challenge-focused R&I support as part of UKRI’s wider efforts to understand ‘what works’ in R&I policy and delivery.
