Evaluation Research is typically used by the public sector, and Benchmark has been helping public sector organisations such as TECs, LSCs, HSE, DfEE and the DTI for over fifteen years. However, the principles of evaluation research are equally relevant to corporate companies assessing the effectiveness of department operations, policies or the performance of external suppliers.

Examples of evaluation research, and Regulatory Impact Assessments (RIAs) undertaken by Benchmark over the last few years include:

Modern Apprenticeships
Careers Service Programmes
Individual Learning Accounts
Skills Training Programmes
Recreation Craft Directive
EC Machinery Directive
DTI's International Technology Service
