Tender: Independent Impact Evaluation of HVM Catapult Grant-Funded Activities – Early Findings Dec 2026, Final Report Mar 2027

About

HVM Catapult is seeking a supplier for an independent, evidence-based impact evaluation of its core grant-funded activities, requiring an Early Findings Report by 18 December 2026 to validate the evaluation framework, evidence the rationale for intervention and establish baseline measures, and a final evaluation report by March 2027 that assesses how workstreams and centre activities deliver outputs, outcomes and KPIs across the Catapult network. The final evaluation must consider four strategic priority areas: industrial sustainability; net zero: clean energy transition; healthy living; and national security capability. The contract may also include optional formative and learning evaluation services that HVM Catapult may call off at its discretion at pre-agreed rates, with no obligation to call them.
