Collection National Partners Evaluation Invitation to Tender

We require an external evaluator to deliver a programme-level evaluation of the Arts Council Collection National Partners programme. Each partner will conduct a small amount of data gathering and evaluation activity locally and so we require the successful supplier to work with the national partners to develop a consistent approach to collecting data on audiences to the Arts Council Collection. The supplier will also be required to conduct primary research.

The successful supplier will need to design a programme level evaluation framework and bring primary and secondary data together under this framework in order to report annually on how the programme is or is not progressing towards its aims.

This evaluation will help ACE to understand the extent to which the programme has met its aims and objectives, the specific role of the cohort approach to delivering these, and will identify relevant policy and practice lessons for ACE and the sector.
