    Brief

    UK Fusion Energy (UKFE) is seeking a qualified supplier to conduct an independent interim socio-economic evaluation of the STEP (Sustainable Thermal-Electric Power) programme. The evaluation will consist of three components: a Baseline Evaluation to establish current conditions, a Process Evaluation to assess programme implementation, and an Interim Impact Evaluation to measure outcomes to date. The work must follow UK Government evaluation standards including the Magenta Book guidance. The evaluation will deliver robust, proportionate, and reproducible evidence to support accountability to government stakeholders, enable organisational learning and programme improvements, and inform critical future decisions including Spending Reviews, the STEP Tranche 2b Business Case for DESNZ, and investor confidence in UKFE. The successful supplier will establish an independent evaluation framework and evidence base capable of withstanding scrutiny from government stakeholders and external investors, and will support the design of the final evaluation for Tranche 2a.
