Invitation to Tender: Evaluation of SICDATF Task Force Vote - Funded Projects

Overview

The South Inner City Drugs and Alcohol Task Force (SICDATF) invites proposals from suitably qualified individuals or organisations to undertake an evaluation of six Task Force Vote-funded projects. The evaluation aims to guide both the projects and SICDATF in developing a strategic roadmap to enhance service quality and support the implementation of the National Drugs Strategy (Reducing Harm, Supporting Recovery 2017–2025) and Sláintecare.

This evaluation is a structured process designed to assess performance, identify value-creating opportunities, and recommend sustainable improvements to service provision. Strategic recommendations will support the future proofing of the Task Force Vote budget, enabling increased and sustained performance within available resources.

Background

A recent SICDATF-led needs analysis identified key gaps in local service provision and highlighted several projects that would benefit from a comprehensive evaluation. This evaluation is essential to:

• Assess current project performance and outcomes.
• Support future development and strategic planning.
• Demonstrate impact and value for money.
• Strengthen funding applications and long-term sustainability.
• Inform potential service redesign or scaling decisions

The deadline for submissions is 5 pm on the 31st of July

The appointed Organisation/Contractor must be able to commence work with the SICDATF in August 2025, with a completion date no later than 5 pm on October 31st 2025.

All proposals should include and request for information must be sent to the SICDATF Coordinator at sicdatf1@gmail.com
