## Description
The Digi-Rail Sheffield City Region Project (DRSCR) is a part funded European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) initiative established to support SMEs, the duration of the project is Oct 2020 through to June 2023. 
In line with latest ERDF guidance published in August 2017, the University of Birmingham invites suppliers to undertake an evaluation of the DRSCR Project and provide a final summative/evaluation assessment report together with a summary (both in word and pdf documents) in line with the requirements of the ERDF summative assessment guidance and further requirements noted within the RFQ document.  The Summative assessment is intended to provide insights into project performance and impact.  The summative assessment should help us to understand the difference that the DRSCR Project has made in the local economy, communities and beneficiary groups. 
The budget for the evaluation service is up to a maximum of £20,000 including VAT.
Although the value of this procurement is below the EU Public Procurement Threshold the University has self-imposed a 20 day full open publication of this tender.
