Description

This opportunity is for the appointment of a Learning and Evaluation (L&E) partner for the UK Market Accelerator for Green Construction (MAGC) programme. The L&E partner will be required to deliver an interim and final evaluation of the programme.

Role of the evaluation partner

MAGC is a substantial investment of International Climate Finance budget in green buildings by BEIS. As such monitoring and evaluation is key to giving assurance that the programme is having the intended benefits and providing good value for money for the UK taxpayer, whilst maximising the learning and transformation potential and informing future strategic decisions.

The aim of the independent evaluation is to gather information on programme performance and lessons learned on MAGC in order to:

- improve the ongoing delivery of results effectively (interim evaluation)

- inform strategy and governance (interim evaluation)

- learn for future similar programmes, e.g. green construction, mixed blended finance and technical advisory (interim and final evaluation).

- assess the value for money of the approach (interim) and overall value for money (final)

Key themes likely to feature in the evaluation

- progress against the theory of change.

- how the programme has been managed

- the design of MAGC and its effect on the programme objectives

- value for money following the 4E approach considering: Economy, Efficiency, Effectiveness, and Equity

The evaluation methodology will be determined by the Supplier and is likely to consist of:

- desk-based review of programme documentation

- interviews/surveys with delivery partners, stakeholders, beneficiaries

- workshops with the programme team (BEIS and the delivery partner IFC)

- site visits to a few of the projects that have received investment

Expertise required from L&E partner includes the following. The Authority would welcome consortia bids to ensure the right mix of skills.

- Proven track record in evaluating UK development spend, including climate finance

- Strong expertise in the green buildings sector internationally (in particular certification schemes)

- Private finance expertise, in particular use of financial instruments, concessional finance (blending of public/private finance)

- Experience of working with both government organisations and financial institutions (banks, fund managers, etc) in at least some of the eligible countries.
