Research & Evaluation — Public Procurement

Public sector research and evaluation contracts cover scientific studies, programme evaluations, impact analyses, accompanying research and policy impact assessments. Ministries, foundations and EU institutions regularly award contracts to research institutes, consultancies and evaluation agencies. Demand is driven by the growing emphasis on evidence-based policymaking.

Typical tenders in the research & evaluation sector

  • Evaluation of a funding programme of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research
  • Scientific accompanying research for a pilot project
  • Impact analysis of a labour market policy measure
  • Framework agreement for evaluation services of an EU Directorate-General
  • Feasibility study for a new funding programme
  • Social science survey and data analysis

Challenges in tender discovery

Research and evaluation contracts appear under many labels: "evaluation", "study", "expert report", "accompanying research", "impact analysis", "assessment" or "research". The thematic range is enormous, from education research and health policy to climate protection.

In addition, many contracts are tendered via specific research platforms (EU Funding & Tenders Portal, DFG — German Research Foundation, BMBF — Federal Ministry of Education and Research), which do not always appear on standard tender portals. The boundary between research grant funding and contract research is fluid.
