Brief Description of Requirement

Introduction

UKRI is seeking a supplier to develop and test a model for delivering a Research Culture Good Practice Exchange (GPEx). This model must be tested and iterated with

Show less description

the wide breadth of stakeholders the GPEx is designed to serve.

The goal of the Good Practice Exchange is to harness and consolidate existing activities relevant to research culture for the benefit of researchers, research itself, and society.

Core objectives are:

  1. Provide a comprehensive GPEx model, which covers each of the key components listed below.
  2. This model will be informed by and tested with the full spectrum of stakeholders, which represent the GPEx community. The model will be iterated and retested with stakeholders, to ensure it best serves their needs.

Whilst the three objectives of the GPEx are set, the manner of delivery is currently open. Internal consultation work has established that there is scope for a supplier to take a wide range of approaches to delivery of the GPEx, with various deliverables, timelines and costings attached. A clear model for delivery therefore needs to be established, with foundations in a theory of change and logic model that has been developed and tested with the community the GPEx would service. UKRI would then use this model as the basis for its tender of the GPEx.

Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement. All attachments can be found with the Supplier Attachments tab within the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal.

This contract will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria as set out in the RFP document.
