Description

The Cabinet Office's Disability Unit would like to procure the development of an evaluation approach to the UK National Disability Strategy.

This will include a theory of change encompassing both the outcomes of policies (Part 1 of the Strategy), the process of policy developments and service delivery across the UK government (Part 2 of the Strategy), and a proposal of monitoring measures and evaluation indicators.

The final output will consist of a report containing the different steps of developing the framework and a strength/weakness analysis of alternative approaches.

This report will inform options on how to evaluate the National Disability Strategy. The report will be shared with other experts and disability stakeholders. It should be easily accessible for stakeholders with a variety of impairments and might be made publicly available.
