Lot details

Primary and secondary research

Framework Agreements have been awarded for Lot 2 of the Research, Impact and Learning Framework. Projects undertaken by this Lot include primary research to help better understand the needs and challenges faced by the FE sector and its learners, and how - as a professional membership body – ETF can best support the sector. Developing evidence-based responses to policy and ensure that ETF workforce development programmes, and our SET membership offer, are responsive to the current and future needs and trends of the FE sector. Commitment to developing an evidence base in areas that have not yet received much attention and are important to our members and their learners. Secondary research projects undertaken will be in areas of FE that ETF members and Trustee’s prioritise, or in areas that are helpful in advancing our organisational strategy and providing new insights that inform and/or benefit the sector and its learners. For example, this might involve analysing existing primary data sources to help identify trends and differentials in FE sector funding, operations, performance, efficiency, effectiveness, and outcomes. Contractors will be required to be familiar with government and publicly available quantitative datasets (e.g. Ofsted reports) and be aware of other potential sources of primary data which could be utilised more effectively to address some of ETF’s unanswered research questions.

Impact and process evaluation, including value for money

Framework Agreements have been awarded for Lot 3 of the Research, Impact and Learning Framework. This Lot will enable the ETF to continue to demonstrate the impact of its CPD programmes and improve its impact practice. ETF has begun work on developing an organisational level theory of change (due to complete Autumn 2023) and have introduced programme level theories of change across our portfolio of activities. These inform both our programme design, delivery and evaluation and have been co-designed with ETF staff, our delivery partners, stakeholder representatives and, where applicable, our funder(s). ETF will be using these programme theories of change to develop and introduce a systematic and consistent monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) framework for all programme activity and professional membership activities. With the help and support of highly experienced and trusted evaluation and learning partners, our ambitions for the future are to co-design, with our FE sector partners and members, an impact evaluation approach that will enable us to evidence both our contribution and our attribution to achieving ETF’s intended long term outcomes and impact goals.

Social value assessment

ETF sought services from contractors to: - co-design an organisational social value measurement and reporting approach, that can be embedded as part of our new and developing MEL approach. - co-design a set of standard social value tools and supporting resources for FE sector providers that can be utilised across our CPD and Professionalism portfolio. - Recommend potential approaches and/ or activities that ETF could consider using to drive improvements in social value at both a corporate and sector (system) level. In light of new intelligence into the requirements of the business around social value, it was decided this Lot should be withdrawn from the Framework.

Literature reviews and evidence synthesis

Framework agreements have been awarded for Lot 1 of the Research, Impact and Learning Framework. Successful contractors will be invited to work with The Education and Training Foundation (ETF) in all types of literature or evidence reviews, co-designing a clear set of research questions for evaluation and learning. The aims and objectives of any literature and/or evidence review will explore areas of interest to ETF, its members, and the wider research community. The reviews will be used to inform thought leadership and influencing activities, the future development of CPD programmes offered and programme design. The required output will be of publishable standard and the appropriate publication and dissemination approach will be agreed as part of the project initiation process for each call-off contract awarded. For ETF research and evaluation projects, contractors awarded call-off contracts will be asked to undertake a rapid evidence review. This may involve reviewing relevant ETF documents and data, identifying a range of key literature (both published and grey literature) and undertaking a data mapping exercise to help ETF identify what is already known and understood about the topic/ subject area under investigation, before embarking on ETF’s research and evaluation activity. Where appropriate, ETF and the framework contractor, will agree in advance whether the evidence review will be published separately from the final report.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 73. The category anchor is Research and development services and related consultancy services (73000000); 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 733,0453 median · 26.7 average (1,086 of 3,045 with a bid count)2.5 average (1,227 of 3,045 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKI1374 median · 22.9 average (45 of 137 with a bid count)1.6 average (50 of 137 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.

The reviews will be used to inform thought leadership and influencing activities, the future development of CPD programmes offered and programme design. The required output will be of publishable standard and the appropriate publication and dissemination approach will be agreed as part of the project initiation process for each call-off contract awarded.\nFor ETF research and evaluation projects, contractors awarded call-off contracts will be asked to undertake a rapid evidence review. This may involve reviewing relevant ETF documents and data, identifying a range of key literature (both published and grey literature) and undertaking a data mapping exercise to help ETF identify what is already known and understood about the topic/ subject area under investigation, before embarking on ETF’s research and evaluation activity. Where appropriate, ETF and the framework contractor, will agree in advance whether the evidence review will be published separately from the final report.",

For example, this might involve analysing existing primary data sources to help identify trends and differentials in FE sector funding, operations, performance, efficiency, effectiveness, and outcomes. Contractors will be required to be familiar with government and publicly available quantitative datasets (e.g. Ofsted reports) and be aware of other potential sources of primary data which could be utilised more effectively to address some of ETF’s unanswered research questions.",

These inform both our programme design, delivery and evaluation and have been co-designed with ETF staff, our delivery partners, stakeholder representatives and, where applicable, our funder(s).\nETF will be using these programme theories of change to develop and introduce a systematic and consistent monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) framework for all programme activity and professional membership activities.

        "description": "For all types of literature and evidence reviews, ETF will seek to co-design a clear set of research questions with our evaluation and learning supplier(s). The aims and objectives of any literature and/or evidence review will be to explore an area of interest to ETF, our members, and the wider research community. The reviews will be used to inform either our thought leadership and influencing activities or inform the future development of our CPD programme offer and its design. The required output will be of publishable standard and an agreed publication and dissemination approach will be agreed as part of the project initiation process.\nFor all ETF research and evaluation projects, we require suppliers to undertake a rapid evidence review. This normally involves reviewing relevant ETF documents and data, identifying a range of key literature (both published and grey literature) and undertaking a data mapping exercise to help ETF identify what is already known and understood about the topic/ subject area under investigation, before embarking on ETF’s research and evaluation activity. Where appropriate, ETF and the research/ evaluation supplier, will agree in advance whether the evidence review will be published separately from the final report. Additional information: This Framework aims to create a list of quality research and evaluation suppliers that ETF can call upon to support the design and delivery of different projects. The Framework Agreement will allow call-off contracts, awarded by mini-competition or direct award where appropriate, to be awarded for any projects that arise throughout the term of the Framework.",

For example, this might involve analysing existing primary data sources to help identify trends and differentials in FE sector funding, operations, performance, efficiency, effectiveness, and outcomes. Suppliers will be required to be familiar with government and publicly available quantitative datasets (e.g. Ofsted reports) and be aware of other potential sources of primary data which could be utilised more effectively to address some of ETF’s unanswered research questions.

ETF has begun work on developing an organisational level theory of change (due to complete Autumn 2023) and we have introduced programme level theories of change across our portfolio of activities. These inform both our programme design, delivery and evaluation and have been co-designed with ETF staff, our delivery partners, stakeholder representatives and, where applicable, our funder(s). From April 2023-24, ETF will be using these programme theories of change to develop and introduce a systematic and consistent monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) framework for all programme activity and professional membership activities.
