Overview
The BIS Research and Evaluation Framework will allow the procurement of research and evaluation services from a pre-selected group of service providers without going through a full procurement process. The Framework complies with EU rules and is available to BIS and other Departments and agencies.
It replaces the current Framework Agreement, which has been running since 1 January 2012 and will end on 1 January 2016. This has been widely used and well received by BIS analysts.
With no other Framework in place which suit BIS requirements, a new Framework is being commissioned to ensure that BIS continues to have access to high quality, efficient research and evaluation service providers. The new Framework will run from 2 January 2016 to 2 January 2020.
Additional details
The Framework establishes the terms and conditions under which the customer can enter into contracts for specified services. It offers high quality research and evaluation service providers under 8 service areas detailed below.
These are core areas of activity for BIS. These cover a wide range of methodological expertise.
We also want to draw on specialist expertise in a wide range of policy areas. We recognise that not all organisations will have that detailed specialist knowledge. You may apply for 1 or more than 1 lot
