An issue SDO Network members have raised is the difficulty in finding reliable organisations that can conduct quick pieces of evaluative work. The organisations on the linked list have been through the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement OEJU process. Although the SDO Network is not recommending these organisations you may find this list a good place to start.

'The list of preferred providers for research and evaluation services was established following an OJEU process and the organisations were selected to meet the needs of the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement. The main characteristics required were quality of work, responsiveness, flexibility and value for money.'
