Value for Money assessment Sample Clauses

Value for Money assessment. Value for Money (VfM) assessment is a valid like-for-like comparison, consisting of, for example: • Comparison within an intervention between different approaches to delivering a common set of outcomes (cost effectiveness analysis). For example, this would compare the costs of approaches adopted by different schools to the impacts these have on KS1 outcomes. The best VfM would be represented by the approaches delivering the greatest impact for the least cost. • Comparison between interventions intended to deliver a common set of outcomes (cost effectiveness analysis). This would rely on comparable evaluation findings being available in the literature, including similar measures of both costs and impact. • Comparison within an intervention between monetised inputs and outcomes (cost- benefit analysis). Such analysis relies on a suitable approach to monetising outcomes, and leads to a cost-benefit ratio (BCR) describing “£s out for each £ in”. The Contractor’s analysis of VfM shall draw on all three approaches to varying degrees. Through questions included in the survey of schools, the Contractor shall explore the relative cost and time implications of different approaches adopted by schools, and the numbers of pupils engaged in additional support. In combination with NPD analysis of relative impact, this shall enable cost effectiveness comparisons to be made. By relating inputs (costs/time), activities undertaken, and outputs (numbers of pupils supported) it shall also be possible to consider economy and efficiency. The Contractor shall undertake cost effectiveness comparisons with other suitable interventions. The Contractor shall also undertake cost-benefit analysis of the check, combining evidence from existing literature on the links between KS1 and longer-term outcomes and estimates of overall impact from the NPD analysis. Further details of this analysis will be confirmed with the Department’s Project Manager as the evaluation progresses. This will be subject to the same limitations of attribution described above for the NPD analysis itself. For the second interim report, the Contractor shall undertake an interim VfM assessment based on the first two years of survey and NPD analysis. This shall provide early findings and an opportunity for comment and refinement of the approach going into Year 3 and the final report to be based on all three years of survey and NPD data.
