SHIFT is due to embark on the creation of its inaugural Impact Report. As we continue our existing innovation programmes as well as launch new projects, the Impact Report will serve as a comprehensive assessment of impact potential, offering insights into the potential impact generated by SHIFT's ecosystem, testbed, and research and development (R&D) initiatives.

The primary aim of this project is to conduct a baseline stock-take and provide a forecast for future impact-driven activities enabled by SHIFT. This involves understanding the composition of our innovation ecosystem, identifying key enablers, and addressing any gaps within our impact pillars.

EXPECTED DURATION The project is expected to commence 1 April 2024 and complete by 28 June 2024. Regular progress updates are required throughout the project duration. It is envisioned that the impact report will be delivered in 6 phases: •Kick off and planning •Research & Data Discovery •Workshops, surveys and interviews •Analysis and consolidation •Write up (including time for client review and editing) •Presentation)

Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
