UK SBS CR20040 Transforming Foundation Industries - Evaluation

UK Research and Innovation had a requirement to commission an independent process and impact evaluation of the Transforming Foundation Industries Challenge. There are four key aims of this piece of work: 1) Deliver an evaluation framework that sets out the intended approach to evaluation in detail 2) Provide Baseline data for current activity within the foundation industries against the evaluation framework metrics 3) Evaluate the impact of the challenge on the industry against its objectives within the lifetime of the challenge as well as in the longer term. 4) Determine to what extent the TFI programme design and delivery mechanisms has contributed to achieving the objectives of the challenge. The central aim of this evaluation is to measure and validate these challenge SMART objectives and then link these outputs with the overarching challenge aims. The requirement was advertised on the CCS RM6018 Research Marketplace DPS
