Description

9. Historic England (HE) is seeking to appoint an experienced team of evaluators to understand the impact of the High Streets Heritage Action Zones (HSHAZ) programme. This evaluation will use a range of appropriate theory-based and quasi-experimental evaluation methodologies combined with social, economic and environmental research techniques to establish robust evidence of the HSHAZ's impact.

10. We are looking for a comprehensive evaluation that includes process, impact and value for money elements. We want the evaluators to draw on an existing theory of change, monitoring and evaluation framework and data as well as collect, generate, review and analyse new data. We want the evaluators to situate all findings within the changing local and national contexts that have occurred during the life of the programme.

11. This evaluation would suit a multi-disciplined team with experience leading evaluations of complex programmes and who can draw on expertise in social, economic and environmental evaluation and research related to place-making, heritage, culture, communities, local growth and regeneration.

12. As part of the response to this invitation to tender we want you to submit:
o A comprehensive evaluation design that demonstrates:
i. how you understand the HSHAZ programme
ii. how you plan to answer our questions and generate the high-quality evidence we need (e.g. evaluation framework, proposed methodologies, quality assurance processes, ethics and data safeguarding strategy etc.)
o Proposed project management approach and plan for delivering this evaluation (including a full risk register)
o Evidence about why your team have the expertise to carry out this evaluation (e.g. short bios or CVs)
