What is being bought

Published requirement description

In recognition of the challenges faced by Local Authorities, the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) has begun to widen its initiatives aimed at strengthening the research culture within Local Government, aiming to build and strengthen capacity and capability both within councils and academic institutions. Middlesbrough Council (as lead bidder), Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council and Teesside University applied for and were granted funding to establish a HDRC across the two Local Authorities.

Middlesbrough Council is looking to appoint a provider to undertake the process evaluation of the HDRC in South Tees looking at the journey of the partners and stakeholders that have been involved in the development, management and delivery of the programme (e.g. what has worked, what hasn’t worked as well), focusing on the strategic system level (including processes, relationships and partnership dynamics).
