Description

The Evidence Centre is looking to commission a call-off contract to provide a range of evidence on training features and approaches . The exact focus of this project is yet to be defined, but may include both Rapid Evidence Assessments and evidence-based thinkpieces into different elements of training for civil servants, including training modalities (facilitation, coaching etc), training features (e.g. Action Learning Sets, Communities of Practice), and other approaches (e.g. train-the-trainer approaches). The main focus of this contract is providing high-quality evidence so we can understand 'what works' in certain training elements and when they can best be implemented, with a secondary focus (for certain elements) on assessing how they can be evaluated. A smaller, but still important, part of this study is working with staff and using Knowledge Mobilisation expertise to ensure evidence from this study is embedded into Evidence Centre processes. Suppliers interested in this work will be expected to have expertise in conducting high quality research, primarily in Rapid Evidence Assessments. To be procured via GCA's Research & Insights RM6126
