Overview

This RFQ relates to the purchase of services of an external expert consultant. We require the completion of an impact evaluation of the portfolio of the Vote Business, Science and Innovation funding of Fellowships, jointly administered by the partner agencies: Royal Society Te Apārangi (Royal Society), Fulbright New Zealand (Fulbright) and the Health Research Council (HRC).
The key objective of this procurement is the production of a robust evaluative report. Procuring the recommended consultancy services is the best way to meet the identified needs because an independent evaluation with specialist expertise and objectivity in evaluative methodology is required. An alternative option to meet the identified needs would be to conduct an internal MBIE evaluation. This is not recommended, because a rigorous evaluative approach, independent of the funders and delivery agencies involved in administering the programmes, is necessary to mitigate the risks of the activity.
A summary of our requirements in addition to the background of the project and the questions for evaluation, is outlined in the Terms of Reference document available here.
An estimate of the total cost over the whole-of-life of the contract, exclusive of GST is $ 75,000. We require the contract to commence no later than 30 September 2019.
