Independence, evaluation design and the data a verifier is expected to produce
Monitoring and evaluation is commissioned precisely because the buyer cannot mark its own work, so independence is a structural requirement rather than a preference. Firms that designed or delivered the programme being evaluated are normally excluded, the declaration covers affiliates and named individuals, and the contract usually protects the evaluator's right to report findings the commissioner does not want. A tender that lacks that protection is worth reading twice before bidding.
The technical bid is an evaluation design, and it is judged on whether the design can actually support the claims the commissioner wants to make. Bidders set out the questions, the counterfactual or comparison strategy, sampling, instruments, analysis and the limits of what attribution the design permits. Baseline availability usually determines what is possible: where no baseline was collected, an honest bid says which questions become unanswerable rather than promising a retrospective one.
Third-party monitoring and verification is a distinct sub-market with different requirements. Here the supplier is confirming that reported activity actually happened -- deliveries made, works built, people trained -- often in places the commissioner cannot safely visit. That needs field teams, sampling protocols that resist manipulation, geotagged and timestamped evidence, and a chain of custody for data that would survive challenge. Security, access negotiation and duty of care for field staff are priced obligations, and the reporting cycle is usually frequent and fixed.
This section describes how this category is bought generally, across the public buyers that publish it. The figures elsewhere on this page are measured for this market alone.
