In plain English

Northumberland County Council wants an outside organisation to carry out an independent review of the North East Rural Growth Programme, a set of publicly funded projects supporting rural businesses and communities. The review will assess what the programme has achieved and what can be learned from it, for a fixed budget of £75,000.

What the buyer wants

• Design and carry out an independent evaluation of the programme as a whole, using a mix of data analysis, document review and stakeholder interviews or surveys • Assess the programme's outcomes, value for money and lessons learned, and report findings to the council in a clear written format • Present findings and recommendations to council officers and stakeholders, and deliver the work within the agreed timescale and budget

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

Without a proven track record of independent evaluation of publicly funded programmes, a small business is unlikely to be scored competitively, as the council will expect clear evidence of similar past work.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
