About

UKRI‑MRC is seeking a supplier for an external evaluation to provide an independent and expert assessment of the return on investment (RoI) and social return on investment (SRoI) of its Fellowship investments. The evaluation findings will be used by MRC to demonstrate to the public the value Fellowships bring to the economy and society, inform the strategic programme offer and future investments in Fellowships, and support MRC and wider UKRI efforts to track the benefits and value of Fellowship investment over time. Only suppliers registered on the Crown Commercial Service RM6126 Research and Insights DPS and registered under the specified eligible sub‑categories (including grants and grant funding; econometric and financial analysis, including cost‑benefit and RoI analysis; impact assessment; mixed‑method qualitative and quantitative approaches; impact evaluation; theory‑based impact evaluation including Theories of Change and logic modelling; and value‑for‑money evaluation) are eligible to submit, and all communications, clarifications and submissions will be conducted via UKRI's Atamis e‑sourcing portal.

Insight

This tender is well suited to consultancies or analyst teams experienced in econometric, impact and value‑for‑money evaluations who are already registered on the RM6126 DPS under the listed sub‑categories; key considerations are strict eligibility (only DPS-registered suppliers in the named sub‑categories can bid) and that all bid communications and submissions must be made through the Atamis portal.
