AHDB Evaluation Support and Validation

Tender description

The aim of this competition is to commission two frameworks of suppliers in relation to the evaluation work of the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB), against the following lots: Lot One: Evaluation Support Lot Two: Evaluation Validation Suppliers may tender for one or both lots. We are open to proposals from individuals or companies as our contract opportunities will be varied. During work on AHDB's current strategy, we have identified approximately 65 programmes of work over the next five years, covering areas such as research, knowledge exchange, market intelligence and market development. These programmes of work are likely to contain several smaller projects and different work streams with activities that contribute towards the overall programme objectives. The success of each of these work programmes needs to be evaluated. So, AHDB Programme Managers in these areas (with guidance from the AHDB Evaluation Team) are responsible for drafting evaluation plans, and capturing appropriate data throughout the life of the programme. Various pieces of evaluation work will then need to be conducted for each overarching programme of work, examples are listed under lot one below. Some Programme Managers will complete full evaluations themselves and others will utilise suppliers to complete some or all of the evaluation work depending on individual requirements.
