Invitation to tender: Evaluation toolkit

Deadline: 6 July 2026, 5pm

Scottish Book Trust invites tenders for the creation of an evaluation toolkit.

We are moving toward expanding our 'on-the-ground' evaluation, where staff cross-pollinate by attending and collecting evaluation data for programmes they don't normally run. We need a consultant to co-produce an engaging, practical evaluation toolkit for these 'on the ground' evaluation activities.

This project will run from August 2026–September 2027.

The budget available for this evaluation, including VAT and expenses, is no more than £40k. Applicants should provide details of their approach at £30k and £40k.

Tenders should be submitted by email to research@scottishbooktrust.com(this link will open in a new window) by 5pm on 6 July 2026. 

Interested parties can contact research@scottishbooktrust.com(this link will open in a new window) with any questions about the project or tender process and/or register to receive answers to any questions submitted. All questions and/or registrations should be submitted by 9am on 22 June. Responses to all questions submitted will be circulated to all by 5pm on 23 June.
