Brief Description of Requirement
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) seeks to commission a Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) call-off contract. The contract will run from December 2025, for the duration of three years with an option to extend for up to two additional years, to be taken as two separate one-year extensions (1+1). The total contract value will be up to £1 million, however please note there is no commitment to spend this amount.
M&E is a critical function at DESNZ, supporting the department to assess the effectiveness of policies and programmes, generate timely insights and support continuous improvement. DESNZ has a strong monitoring and evaluation culture and a high demand for M&E services. DESNZ’s Monitoring and Evaluation framework outlines the vision for comprehensive, proportionate and robust M&E activity across the Department and its partner organisations.
DESNZ is responsible for delivering the making Britain a Clean Energy Superpower mission, one of the Government’s 5 missions outlined in the Plan for Change. Rapid and timely M&E will be crucial for helping us to understand what works in delivering this mission. This reinforces the need for a responsive, rapid commissioning route for M&E.
Given the breadth of DESNZ’s policy portfolio and the pace at which evidence is often required, there is a consistent need for flexible, rapid access to high-quality M&E expertise. DESNZ is seeking to contract a supplier or a consortium who can provide expert input on the methodological and practical sides of M&E as it applies to DESNZ.
The M&E call-off contract will be a critical mechanism to commission high-priority, small-scale M&E projects across a wide range of policy areas and departmental priorities. It will offer a flexible and responsive route to produce timely insights that inform policy design, programme delivery and strategic decision-making.
This call-off contract is intended to complement in-house analytical capability and larger bespoke procurements for programme specific evaluations, by providing an agile and proportionate route to commissioning a broad range of small-scale, time-sensitive M&E projects. It will be particularly well suited to deliver rapid evidence reviews, scoping studies, methodological pilots and fast paced primary data collection.

This contract will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria as set out in the RFP document.
