Description

We are seeking a suitably qualified organisation or individual to facilitate the Better Off Finance (BOF) project evaluation aim to measure the social and economic impact of the project. Therefore, we seek to procure a Social Accounting and Auditing (SAA) provider to put in place a social accounting methodology that will collect quantitative and qualitative information from beneficiaries and stakeholders and will also provide regular feedback throughout the programme which will be reported to commissioners. The process will help plan and manage the project as well as demonstrate what it achieves. We want to procure a Social Accounting and Audit provider that has the track record and experience of developing a logical and flexible framework which will enable the project to build on existing documentation and reporting systems and develop a process so that the project can:
• Prove - account fully for and report on BOF's social, environmental and economic performance and impact
• Improve- provide the information essential for planning future actions and improving performance
• Account - be accountable to all those BOF work with and work for

The provider will be able to provide a comprehensive social accounting and audit process and result in BOF and our commissioners being able to understand the impact the project has on people, the planet and the way it uses resources and it will also help improve its effectiveness. We are seeking providers that can deliver SAA and can if appropriate deploy tools such as SORI and LM3. We are seeking a provider that can provide independent verification and will ultimately collate, analyse and bring together in a single BOF project evaluation document which will be audited independently and widely published.
The value of the contract will be up to £120,000 in total.
The project is funded by ESF/Big Lottery - Building Better Opportunities
