The portfolio of research is commissioned by the Economic Growth Research Team (EGRT) in the Research and Evidence Directorate (RED). The evaluation will focus on coherence, value for money and impact. The portfolio evaluation aims to deliver learning to improve the current portfolio and better target future programming, and to provide accountability for a substantial research investment. The objectives of the portfolio evaluation are to assess: - the overall portfolio of research in relation to coherence, research gaps and inclusion (particularly but not exclusively gender and disability); - value for money of EGRT economic development programming; - outcomes and impacts in terms of policy and practice change and influencing the knowledge frontier.   The evaluation will provide new insights from the evidence gathered and recommendations for further research programming, as well as for changes that could be made within existing programmes to improve impact and value for money. The programmes within scope for the evaluation are listed below (please note, these are subject to change): - Capacity for Economic Research and Policy-making in Africa (CERPA) - Development and Economic Growth Research Programme (DEGRP) - Gender, Growth and Labour Markets (G2LM) - Private Enterprise Development in Low-Income Countries (PEDL) - Economic Development and Institutions (EDI) - Structural Transformation and Economic Growth (STEG) - International Growth Centre (IGC) phase 3 An Early Market Engagement event is scheduled to take place virtually on Wednesday 17 April @ 11:00 – 12:30 GMT.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 75. The category anchor is Foreign economic-aid-related services (75211200); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 752,7223 median · 35.4 average (950 of 2,722 with a bid count)3.3 average (1,149 of 2,722 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer1094 median · 23 average (21 of 109 with a bid count)4.1 average (36 of 109 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UK8763 median · 64 average (284 of 876 with a bid count)5.5 average (383 of 876 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)2033 median · 3 average (1 of 203 with a bid count)1 average (1 of 203 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
