Expert evaluation with practical experience

EvalPro is a specialist consultancy led by two researchers with experience in programme evaluation, data science and strategic planning.Our background includes peer-reviewed research and the design, delivery and evaluation of university initiatives, including Access and Participation Plans. We understand the practical challenges of identifying priorities, setting targets, working with imperfect data and turning findings into action.You work directly with the people designing and conducting your evaluation.

How we can help

Evaluation feasibility

Find out what your evaluation can credibly answer before committing to a full study. We review your programme, intended outcomes and available data, then recommend a realistic approach with clear requirements and limitations.

Evaluation strategy and design

Build evaluation into your plans from the start. We help develop theories of change, prioritise evaluation questions and establish proportionate monitoring and evaluation plans for individual programmes or wider organisational strategies.

Programme and impact evaluation

Understand what difference your programme makes, how it is delivered and where it could improve. We combine quantitative analysis with qualitative research where useful, with particular expertise in quasi-experimental methods for estimating impact when randomised trials are not feasible.

Support for existing evaluations

Already collecting data, or nearing the end of a programme? We review what you have, identify what can reasonably be concluded and recommend ways to address gaps and strengthen future evaluation.

Training and mentoring

Build your team’s confidence in planning, commissioning and interpreting evaluation. We offer practical training, tailored mentoring and constructive review of evaluation plans and findings.

An approach built around your decisions

1. Start with what you need to know

We clarify your programme’s aims, the decisions you need to make and when you need the evidence. Together, we agree the questions that matter most.

2. Choose a credible, proportionate design

We assess your data and select methods suited to your questions, resources and timescale. Our expertise includes working with large, complex administrative datasets alongside surveys, interviews and focus groups.We explain the assumptions, test the strength of the findings and make clear what the evidence can and cannot establish.

3. Turn findings into practical next steps

We bring the evidence together to answer your questions, explain the implications and identify options for action. Reporting is planned around the people who need the findings and the decisions they face.
