Description

We are seeking to appoint an external Supplier to collect project evaluation data from trainees, host organisations and strategic partners in the archive and cultural heritage sector. This will include evaluation of the recruitment process, in particular recruiting more diverse skillsets. Subsequently the Supplier should analyse the data, to identify strategic issues arising from the data and to test these assumptions with stakeholders.

The Supplier will be required to collect, review and analyse evaluation data, collected from trainees, host archives services and strategic partners in order to:
• Assess the impact of the project on the trainee;
• Assess the impact of the project on the host organisation; and
• Assess the impact of the project on the wider archive sector (e.g. new employers).

The Supplier will engage with stakeholders across the archives, funding and workforce sectors to ensure that the analysis, case for support and next steps offer realistic and constructive recommendations for meeting skills gaps in the archive sector.

The Supplier must:

Deliver the final report and associated resources by the end of the Bridging the Digital Gap Project (early 2022, unless otherwise agreed with TNA).

Inform and enable continuous improvement of project recruitment and other processes throughout the term of the project.

Participate in regular monitoring meetings with the TNA's Bridging the Digital Gap Project Manager to review and discuss the progress and quality of the materials being designed, and to attend two project board meetings in person or by teleconference.
