Description

Central Bedfordshire Council requires a provider to provide a comprehensive evaluation to show the outcomes and impacts from the Time2Connect (T2C) Project, which was commissioned to deliver assets-based community development in Houghton Regis, with a view to determining the viability of future commissioning. The evaluation will be used to identify whether T2C was effective in supporting and connecting local residents in line with the original aims and objectives of the Project, as documented in the Specification, as well as identifying any unforeseen outcomes and impacts, especially in light of the context provided by the COVID-19 Pandemic. To what extent was there a social or societal return on investment?
An evaluation framework based on the Project Specification sets out the requirements further.

The Council will provide as much support and information as it can to help guide you through the quotation process. Questions asked together with the response, will be made available to all tenderers, to ensure a fair and consistent approach to all.
