Invitation to Tender – Evaluation Consultant: Birmingham Museums Trust
Our Partner Members Focus Consultants are working with Birmingham Museums Trust to put together a team for the trust’s Laying the Foundations project.
Birmingham Museum Trust is on the road to significant transformation. It is therefore essential to document and record our findings, learn and improve as they progress. They are committed to embedding new ways of working and are seeking external evaluation support to assist them in this process.
In order to evaluation the Resilient Heritage Laying the Foundation Project, they require the following:
• Baseline benchmarking of organisational culture and capacities.
• Establishing the evaluation framework for the project – defining the what, how, when, who, and why.
• Periodic evaluation reports.
• A post-project review will be required to be submitted to the NLHF in line with their guidance.
What they’re looking for:
The collective team will bring to the table big ideas and ambition that creatively respond to the vision, unafraid to challenge accepted norms, collaborating to support the client in further refining their vision and objectives, rooted in community needs. The team should have a strong sense of Birmingham and its unique characteristics and super-diversity. You will need to have a deep understanding of this area of work, but you do not necessarily need to be a bricks and mortar consultancy firm. They welcome responses from individuals, companies, or collaborations.
Ultimately, they do not mind who you are (although if you are not based in the city, they hope that you would see the benefit of spending ample time here to get under the skin of its residents). Their teams are diverse, as is the city, and your work will recognise, celebrate, and respond to this.
If you consider yourself suitable for certain parts of the brief but not the whole, they would still like to hear from you as they are looking to create the right team who can bring something to the table, which may involve a certain amount of matchmaking with those who have different skill sets. They want you to understand their passion for change, appreciate the exploratory nature of this work, and be robust and brave with your assertions.
