    Brief

    This is a multi-work package evaluation commission assessing the National School and its transformation from Government Skills. The opportunity comprises two distinct work packages: Work Package 1: Economic Evaluation Advice A smaller-scale engagement to provide quality assurance on the economic evaluation of the new National School institution using a Value for Investment (VfI) approach. You will review that initial steps align with best practice and support the definition of appropriate performance measures. You should have proven experience with VfI evaluations. Work Package 2: Main Transformation Evaluation A substantial independent evaluation to assess how effectively the National School is delivering against its transformation commitments. This requires a theory-based approach to: review implementation against the theory of change, assess activities and outputs, and provide evidence on early value indicators from users to support the VfI analysis. You will deliver interim findings and a full report during the initial contract term. You should have senior-level expertise in theory-based evaluation of complex strategic interventions, experience with economic evaluation methods, and a strong track record evaluating complex Civil Service or public sector change programmes.
