About

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is seeking a supplier to evaluate the METIUS programme, a £14.5 million UK-funded AI infrastructure investment co-funded by the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade (BIST) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and part of UKRI’s Creating Opportunities and Improving Outcomes strategic theme. METIUS aims to harness cutting-edge AI to improve the speed, relevance and accessibility of evidence synthesis for decision-makers tackling urgent challenges; the investment started on 1 October 2025 and will run for five years. The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the extent to which the project has increased policymakers’ use of synthesised evidence to inform policy development, to evaluate the associated benefits for evidence-informed public policy in the UK and internationally, and to generate actionable insights to inform the design and delivery of future research.
