## Description
Portsmouth City Council ('the council') is inviting tenders from suitably qualified suppliers to provide expert evaluation partner services for their Health Determinants Research Collaboration (HDRC) project.
The Council is looking to commission a learning and evaluation partner to work with us to design and deliver an evaluation of our HDRC. We have described the type of evaluation approach that we are looking for in our Business Plan, that formed part of our successful bid for funding (the bid document can be found in appendix 3 of the tender document set). We do not have a prescribed evaluation model and expect bidders to describe how and why their proposed approach meets our goals. Please refer to the specification in the Invitation To Tender for more details.
The estimated value of the contract is £300,000 over the lifetime of the contract. This value is fixed as this is a funded contract, the Council reserves the right to set aside any tender submission that comes in above this value. The contract term will be for 5 years with no extension options.
Please note that the funder for this project does not automatically include inflation in annual uplifts. The expectation is therefore that bids should be for the full amount required to deliver the work over 5 years, inclusive of inflation.
The council is targeting to have awarded contract by Tuesday 8th October 2024 to allow for contract commencement on Thursday 2nd January 2025.
