Overview

The Welsh Government intends to procure a contract for an independent evaluation of the implementation and impact of the Health and Social Care (Quality and Engagement) (Wales) Act 2020. The evaluation will build on findings from a completed evaluability assessment and is expected to adopt a theory-based approach, assessing both the individual duties established by the Act and their collective contribution to the Act's overarching objectives. https://www.gov.wales/evaluability-assessment-health-and-social-care-quality-and-engagement-wales-act-2020 The current intention is to procure the contract in 2026/2027 to commence the contract during the 2027/28 financial year. Estimated total contract value: up to £275,000 GBP (excluding VAT) Contract duration: 24 months (with up to 3 months extension for final outputs with no additional budget available). Structure of contract: The Welsh Government is considering a variety of models whereby: • The requirement is either tendered as one whole contract or divided into five lotted work packages (Work Packages 0-4). • Work Package 0 will be responsible for providing overall programme integration, coordination and synthesis across all work packages. • Work Packages 1 to 4 will be the evaluation strands. • At this stage we are considering whether suppliers are interested in bidding for one individual work package as an expert on a specific topic, multiple work packages or all work packages as a lead supplier co-ordinating the whole contract. • Where multiple suppliers are appointed they will be required to operate within a shared theory-based evaluation framework. • Effective collaboration and data sharing between suppliers will be a contractual requirement to support programme-wide synthesis, learning and reporting. • The approaches being considered reflect the recommendations made through the evaluability assessment, which identified the benefits of a single overarching evaluation delivered through distinct but connected evalua
