Mental Wellbeing System Baseline measures and independent evaluation of commissioned activity

Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership ("GMHSCP") is seeking a partner(s) to evaluate the process, outputs, outcomes, impact (both intended and non- intended) and learning from the implementation of the Greater Manchester (GM) Mental Wellbeing programme.

The successful organisation will be expected to a) establish baseline measures of mental wellbeing; b) evaluate the degree which commissioned activity has influenced wellbeing; and c) comment on factors influencing success, including barriers and facilitators to delivery.

THE GM MENTAL WELLBEING PROGRAMME

The overall aim of the programme is to transform the way mental wellbeing is understood and approached by those who live and work in Greater Manchester. To achieve this, it seeks to improve access to supportive training and resources and to address additional barriers faced by communities of interest. It aims to build on, and go beyond current existing frameworks of support - including those commissioned nationally and at the level of single commissioners.

The objectives are:

The budget for this evaluation is £50,000 (excluding VAT) over a period of Dec 2020 to Sept 2021

Ensuring value for money is essential. The evaluation partner is therefore required to provide clear costings for each aspect of the project including a breakdown of activities and related deliverables that meet the needs of the required evaluation as well as any assumptions underpinning the costs.
