    Brief

    This opportunity seeks an independent evaluator to assess the Widening Access Demonstrators (WAD) programme. The evaluation will objectively measure the programme's effectiveness, impact, and value for money as required by Ministers. The successful supplier will conduct a comprehensive evaluation across all demonstrator sites, identify best practice case studies, analyse cross-cutting barriers and facilitators to successful delivery, and provide recommendations for a potential national roll-out scheduled for 2027-28. The findings will help codify best practice and inform future policy decisions.
