Last updated 3 December 2024


We are looking for a group of volunteers from public sector organisations to help with the evaluation of our new Management Consultancy Framework (MCF4) agreement. This will replace MCF3.

Evaluators are an important part of the procurement process and, in addition to playing an important role within CCS, becoming an evaluator counts towards your corporate contribution, and is encouraged in departments across the Civil Service.

Evaluation of this procurement will consist of an independent evaluation followed by consensus meetings.

The procurement timescales are currently:

  • publication of find a tender notice (FTS): 8 November 2024
  • evaluation period: 10 February to 28 March 2025
  • consensus: April/May 2025
  • award: July 2025

Volunteers will also be required to attend a short training call before being an evaluator (2 hours maximum) and be provided with the required tools and information.

Evaluators will need to have commercial experience, experience in a specialism covered under the lots on the agreement (such as business, finance or health) and/or knowledge of the management consultancy category. 

If you are interested in acting as an evaluator or would like any further information, please contact peoplepillarcomms@crowncommercial.gov.uk.
