Likely requirements

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

The notice does not state formal eligibility thresholds, but the work requires an evaluation team with proven experience of evaluating public sector programmes and an understanding of adult social care, which would likely rule out a very small firm without that track record.
