Invitation to tender for Get Out and Get Active
Spirit of 2012's Get Out & Get Active (GOGA) initiative will invest £4.5 million across the UK to develop, deliver and learn from exciting new ways to capture inactive people into active recreation.
On behalf of the four Home Nation Disability Sport Organisations, the English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS) is leading a uniquely inclusive and dynamic partnership which will see real change in eighteen main locations across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We are now seeking tenders for the evaluation and learning contract.
Our approaches will reach out to new audiences for fun and inclusive active recreation and see disabled and non-disabled people being active together. Volunteer and peer mentor support will be central to supporting people to lead active lives and will put the collective insight and expertise of national and local partners into practice.
EFDS, as accountable body is charged with ensuring the successful delivery and evaluation of the programme. The charity is driven by a simple vision of a future where disabled people are active for life. We believe that this programme and the learning it brings will be central to realising that vision.
The GOGA consortium, led by the English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS) is seeking a monitoring and evaluation partner/s to work with us and our funded partners during the life of the GOGA programme to undertake formative and summative evaluation of our investments and also critically evaluate Spirit’s own grant making and monitoring processes.
When submitting our proposals, the EFDS led consortium placed an emphasis on the need for the appointed evaluation partner to work with us and our local and national partners to strengthen and ensure shared ownership of the monitoring and evaluation framework submitted with our bid (Appendix 2).
The aim of this contract is to engage independent evaluation partner/s to work with the EFDS and our funded partners to help us produce our evaluation framework and assess whether and how effectively the aims of the planned outcomes of the programme have been achieved. We want to gauge whether the individual projects have met their objectives, and to enable other organisations, as well as ourselves, to learn from the progress GOGA partners make.
