Transformation Programme Evaluation

Cabinet Office

We are carrying out a mutli-strand portfolio of evaluation assessing the National School and its transformation. Our working assumption is that our commission will have two separate workpackages: Work Package 1: Economic Advice. Advice on the economic evaluation of the new institution, most likely using a Value for Investment (VfI) approach Work Package 2: Main Transformation Evaluation. Independent, theory based evaluation of the transformation of Government Skills to the National School Work Package 1 is a small-scale piece of work to provide assurance that the initial steps of a proposed economic evaluation using the VFI approach (being conducted internally) have been completed in line with best practice, and support setting appropriate measures to allow robust judgements for The National School's performance against each of the Es. Work Package 1 will require suppliers to have experience of working on evaluations using the VFI approach. Work Package 2 is a substantial piece of work to provide evidence of how well the National School is delivering against transformation commitments. This Work Package requires a theory based approach to reviewing implementation (assessing activities and outputs in the theory of change) and providing evidence on early indicators of value from users, to support the VfI approach in Work Package 1. The supplier will provide interim findings and a full report in the initial term. Work Package 2 will require suppliers to have high-quality theory-based evaluation expertise, including evaluating genuinely complex strategic interventions, and economic evaluation to continue the VfI approach. We will also expect suppliers to have strong experience of conducting evaluations in complex Civil Service or public sector settings

ITT - Historic Gardens: Supporting Adaptation to a Changing Climate – Case Studies - UID 372

Historic England

This project will compile a set of case studies showing how designated historic parks, gardens and demesnes across the UK are experiencing and responding to climate change impacts and risks. The case studies will be presented in a report to be published in the Historic England Research Report Series and summarised in an accompanying non-technical summary of the report. The project is being funded in partnership by Historic England and the National Lottery Heritage Fund. This project builds on stakeholder research commissioned by Heritage Fund and Historic England, which set out to understand how designated historic gardens and demesnes across the UK are being maintained and managed in response to the threats posed by climate change through stakeholder research. The research report included developing an understanding of what advice and guidance is available to the owners and managers of these historic places, what challenges and barriers they are facing, what factors are being considered in approaches to future management and whether balanced consideration is being given to both the cultural and natural heritage significance of these places. The research report culminated in a series of recommendations, including highlighting the need for case studies to provide examples of climate adaptation in historic places. The research found that managers of historic parks and gardens are already experiencing climate impacts but lack practical, site-specific examples showing how they could respond while protecting heritage significance. In addition to the recommendation for case studies, the research found that existing guidance is fragmented, often too generic, and difficult to apply to the complex mix of horticulture, arboriculture, ecology, hydrology, infrastructure, archaeology, visitor management and governance found across historic parks, gardens and cemeteries. Managers particularly value peer learning, site visits, pilot projects and examples of both success and failur

Effect of probiotics on Campylobacter colonisation within the broiler gut

Food Standards Agency

A key component of the FSA work is to reduce the burden of foodborne disease in the UK. Campylobacter is the leading bacterial cause of foodborne disease in the UK, with chicken meat being the most common food source of exposure to this pathogen. Campylobacter is widespread in chicken farms, with 60% of UK broilers flocks carrying the pathogen at the point they are slaughtered. Interventions further down the food chain do not reliably eliminate this pathogen. Therefore, reducing Campylobacter colonisation on broiler flocks and contamination on chicken meat is a priority area for the FSA as this will contribute towards reducing human exposure and subsequent reported cases of foodborne disease. A clear evidence gap remains on whether probiotics can consistently affect Campylobacter levels in broilers, across commercial UK farms under routine production conditions, and what magnitude of log reduction is realistically achievable. To address this evidence gap, the FSA are seeking research proposals for an innovative field-trial based study carried out in real-life intensive broiler houses to assess the effectiveness of a range of probiotics on reducing or delaying Campylobacter colonisation in the gut of broiler flocks. The research should be designed to answer the following questions: • “To what extent can commercially available probiotic formulations reduce or delay Campylobacter colonisation in broiler flocks under commercial intensive housed farming conditions, and does this translate into reduced Campylobacter contamination of carcasses at processing?” • “What is the effect of these formulations on welfare and production performance indicators such as mortality, growth rate, feed conversion efficiency and flock health outcomes?” We envisage that the proposed study design will consist of several discrete phases. Given the complexity of controlling Campylobacter in broiler flocks, we would like the inclusion of break clauses at the end of key deliverables to allow suf
