Call-off Contract: Training Features Evidence Research

The Evidence Centre is seeking a research partner to deliver evidence-based insights on training features and approaches for civil servant development. This call-off contract will primarily involve conducting Rapid Evidence Assessments and developing evidence-based analyses across multiple training dimensions, including: training modalities (facilitation, coaching), specific features (Action Learning Sets, Communities of Practice), and implementation approaches (train-the-trainer methods). The research will focus on identifying 'what works' in training delivery and determining optimal implementation contexts, with secondary attention to evaluation methodologies. The successful supplier will combine expertise in high-quality research design, particularly Rapid Evidence Assessments, with Knowledge Mobilisation capabilities to ensure research findings are effectively integrated into Evidence Centre operations and processes. This is an opportunity to directly influence civil service training strategy through rigorous evidence generation.
