Standards of Evidence support for the Big Lottery Fund Accelerating Ideas pilot

The Fund requires a dedicated expertise to support the use of Standards of Evidence during the Big Lottery Fund’s Accelerating Ideas pilot. Evidence plays a central role in the Fund’s Accelerating Ideas pilot: we want to support projects that can evidence the difference they have already made, or to help them to develop that evidence; and we want to support the organisations we fund to share what they learn and to learn from others, by helping them to understand and adapt evidence.

The Service Provider will be expected to work with staff at the Fund and organisations applying for funding from our Accelerating Ideas pilot, to support discussions around evidence. This expert support around the use of Standards of Evidence during the Big Lottery Fund’s Accelerating Ideas pilot will be carried out on a call off basis, upon the requests from the Fund.

The Fund estimates that the contract term will be up to 3 months depending on the volumes of applications. Support would be drawn upon as needed during this contract term (on a call off basis). The total value of this contract shall not exceed £23,500 including VAT.

Further details are set out in the attached ITT.
