CR20027 - Evaluation of the Arts and Humanities Research Council's Doctoral Training Partnership Scheme

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Friday, 3rd April 2020 at 11:00 DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal. The Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) scheme is AHRC's main mechanism for supporting doctoral students. It is a commitment of £164 million, over 11 awards, running from October 2014 to September 2022, by which time we will have supported more than 2,500 students. It is important that AHRC reviews and evaluates the effectiveness of the scheme. The supplier will undertake a robust, evidence-based review of the scheme which will enable AHRC to determine its future support for doctoral students. The aim of the evaluation is to gain a better understanding of AHRC support for doctoral students through the DTP mechanism and whether the model itself is robust. The main objective is to review the scheme against the original aims and principles for the scheme. - Please make sure that you provide sufficient detail of you requirement so that potential suppliers will have a full understanding of what is required.
