A systematic, objective assessment of a project, whether it is still running or has finished, is central to how we work. Evaluation measures how far a project met its goals and what effect it had, records the lessons, and recommends what to change next time.
An independent evaluation gives you credible evidence of success for commissioners and boards. Just as usefully, it brings to light the problems that get lost in a busy delivery schedule, so that future projects can learn from them.
Three services
Integrated project evaluation
The evaluator does not deliver the project, but gathers evidence from initiation to closure and sits alongside the team throughout. Stakeholders are supported to identify successes, problems, risks and lessons as they happen. Because the evaluation runs in parallel with delivery, it can prompt changes in real time and improve the outcome, not just describe it.
Post-project evaluation
A look back at how each stage of a finished project affected its results. We check whether the expected outcomes and benefits are actually emerging as planned, review the project documentation to confirm the work was properly recorded, and set out the reasons the project succeeded or fell short.
Project health check review
For longer projects, a structured mid-course review that helps the team adjust so the project stays aligned with its business case. We review the documents, meet stakeholders, assess financial health, identify the actions needed to bring deliverables back on track, and produce a review report with recommendations.

- A written report your board and commissioners can rely on, with findings separated from recommendations
- Lessons framed for the next project, not just the last one
Recent examples include evaluation frameworks and end-of-project surveys for portfolio-role pilots in general practice, and training audits for whole boroughs..
