Description

NOTE: This notice was updated on 28 January 2025 for the following reason: The original notice stated that the notice was not suitable for VCOs - this was an error and this should now say - YES(The National Lottery Heritage Fund (Heritage Fund) wants to review its approach to grantee project evaluations. The Heritage Fund is looking to appoint a supplier to review the current approach to evaluations for projects funded through both our National Lottery Heritage Grants and through Grant in Aid. Our current approach and systems do not allow for learning to be easily extracted and collated. We want to explore creating a new approach to project evaluations that takes a more creative approach to understanding impact and learning with and from grantees; to better organise, extract, use, and share learning for applicants/grantees, ourselves, and the wider heritage sector. We also want to ensure that evaluations provide good value for money overall and individually.)
