Research and Evaluation Contracts Market Warming Event - MHCLG

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) is planning to commission multiple research and evaluation contracts to support policy development and delivery across six key areas: Housing, Planning, Homelessness and Disadvantages, Buildings and Fire, Elections, and Local Growth and Communities. These contracts will deliver flexible and timely social and economic research, evaluation, and analytical advice. MHCLG expects to work with suppliers to understand evidence gaps, evaluate policy impacts and implementation, assess value for money, and identify what works in each policy area. The department welcomes bids from consortia with diverse skills and research methods. A market warming event will be held on Wednesday, 10th June from 16:00-17:00 via Microsoft Teams, where MHCLG will present requirements, answer questions, and provide opportunities for organisations to network and form potential consortia partnerships. Register by 5th June using the provided link to receive the Teams meeting details. The exact scope and timing of contracts will depend on MHCLG's evolving priorities.
