    Brief

    The UK Portfolio is seeking a single supplier or consortium to conduct an impact evaluation of the UK Fund and deliver learning services to its grantholders. The UK Fund supports two thematic areas: Connected Communities, and Children and Young People (CYP) and Youth Voice, with initial awards made in February 2024 and expansion in 2025. The programme focuses on scaling well-established programmes demonstrating proven impact across communities facing poverty, disadvantage, and discrimination, with emphasis on voice, relationship building, agency, community systems, and lived experience. A key distinguishing feature is the requirement for long-term systems change, combining service delivery with systemic transformation. The evaluation and learning contract must use a collaborative, co-design approach engaging all grantholders to meet their specific learning needs. Suppliers are strongly encouraged to involve communities in shaping and contributing to learning and evaluation processes, ensuring alignment with the programme's core values of voice, agency, and power. This is a significant opportunity for experienced evaluators and learning partners to influence large-scale impact work across multiple organisations and communities.
