Invite to tender for an evaluation of Comic Relief's Tech V's Abuse Initiative
Alison Berks
I am sharing news that Comic Relief are looking to commission an evaluation of our Tech Vs Abuse grants initiative in case you are either interested in submitting a proposal yourself or know of someone else who might be interested.
The Invitation to Tender (ITT) can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KlzMiWDEN-aTW48u3JOp-Bb_JsQWW91aiNqBVzkFj5U/edit?usp=sharing
Comic Relief set up the Tech Vs Abuse grants initiative on the basis of the Tech Vs Abuse research. The fund will award grants to develop new or existing digital products and services in response to five specific design challenges which will improve the safety of women and girls affected by domestic abuse.
The budget for this evaluation is £30,000 inclusive of VAT and expenses. It will take place between 13 July 2017 and November 2018. The evaluation will involve a process evaluation of the overall initiative and its design, as well as an outcomes evaluation examining the extent to which the initiative effectively achieves its intended goals. It will involve secondary analysis of data collected by Comic Relief and CAST, who are offering technical support to grantees, as well as some primary research to help us understand the learning questions.
We are looking for an external consultant, agency or collaboration with:
Experience conducting process evaluations;
A passion and interest in the role of technology in creating social change;
An appreciation of the challenges faced by organisations working with those affected by abuse and for the domestic abuse sector.
If you are interested in submitting a proposal and/or have any questions about the ITT, please submit your interest and/or questions via email to myself (a.b...@comicrelief.com) by 7 June 2017. Comic Relief will collate all questions submitted and respond to them by 14 June.
Please submit a full proposal by 23 June 2017. To submit your proposals, please contact myself (a.b...@comicrelief.com) and Anya Stern (a.s...@comicrelief.com).
Best wishes,
Alison
Evaluation and Learning Manager, Comic Relief
