Description
This tender seeks proposals by which the successful supplier will co-design, undertake and provide analysis of a business-facing survey that captures evidence of impact related to Innovate UK Business Connect's key performance metrics.
The business survey will capture data on the following: business characteristics; innovation behaviours; benefits of engagement with Innovate UK Business Connect; perspectives on additionality and contribution associated with Innovate UK Business Connect ; other factors that may have led to the observed outcomes; and overall
perspectives on the value of the Innovate Uk Business Connect to the business.
Much of this work builds on a previous evaluation of Innovate UK Business Connect, undertaken in 2018 and again in 2022. For consistency, we wish to retain many of the original survey questions. However, we hope to work with the successful supplier to identify new evidence metrics which specifically highlight the impact on positive
change.
Deliverables:
The successful partner will;
• Co-design the format of the survey with Innovate UK Business Connect to align with agreed evidence metrics.
• Identify the scope and nature of survey recipients, such that the survey size is robust and statistically credible.
• Work with Innovate UK Business Connect employees to send out the survey to the appropriate organisations.
• Collate and analyse feedback from respondents - providing objective insights and recommendations for future Innovate UK Business Connect activities to enhance our impact.
• Provide a written report to Innovate UK Business Connect executive team in a format that can also be shared with our clients and more publicly with stakeholders.
• Provide a verbal presentation on findings to Innovate UK Business Connect executive team and the Board, with recommendations.
