Title

Bangor University- Project Evaluation Services for CEB Project

2.2

Description of the goods or services required

As part of the evaluation of the 2014-2020 round of ERDF funding, WEFO requires beneficiaries to undertake a robust programme of monitoring and evaluation. Whilst the 2007-13 programmes focused on implementation, or ‘what works’, the emphasis for operations funded in the 2014-2020 programme is on identifying and providing evidence to support outcomes/results and impacts to understand ‘why’ and ‘how’ an intervention works.

Underpinned by the concept of theory-based evaluation, evaluations are being commissioned during the early stages of an operation. It is anticipated that data other than that collected to support the formal WEFO output indicators will need to be collected in order to demonstrate outcomes and impacts in the short, medium and longer term.

In order to deliver this, inception evaluations are being commissioned to form a baseline from which to measure progress, which will be reviewed through an interim formative evaluation with the longer term outcomes and impacts being evaluated through a summative evaluation.

This operation will be the subject of two evaluative phases: mid-term and final stage, the latter on satisfactory completion of the mid-term evaluation. This contract is for both evaluations.
