Re:Model is a new National Lottery Heritage Fund programme by Thrive, in partnership with Arts & Business NI. They are now seeking to appoint an external evaluator for the duration of the project and are now accepting tenders.

What is Re:Model?
Re:Model is a two-years business support programme for those who work in the NI heritage sector; it’s aimed at challenging how they think and work within their role. It isn’t your traditional training programme and will offer a range of workshops, one-to-one sessions and networking meetings. Re:Model will benefit its participants but also the wider sector as it will include research to provide resources and tool-kits when the programme ends.

The successful supplier will work with the project team to:
– Develop an evaluation and data collection framework.
– Create and deliver the most appropriate methodology to evaluate Re:Model over the two-year period of the programme. This should include some suggestion as to the metrics necessary to evidence the outcomes, and be both quantitative and qualitative.
– Attend key Re:Model events.
– Provide regular feedback on data gathered and present interim findings in May 2021 with recommendations for the second run of Re:Model.
– Check-in regularly with the project team to flag any emerging issues that could impact the successful delivery of Re:Model.
– Present final findings to include recommendations for future business support for NI heritage sector in May 2022 at the Re:Model final event.
– Deliver a final report in June 2022.
– Contribute to the wider programme evaluation managed by National Lottery Heritage Fund as required.

Selection will be based on the following criteria:
– Experience of delivering an evaluation of a programme costing £200,000 within the past three years.
– Experience of creating a data collection framework to evidence outcomes rather than objectives.
– Details of proposed methodology.
– Experience of working in the heritage sector.
– Value for money.
