Description

The Borough Councils of Dudley, Sandwell and Walsall are seeking to commission an organisation to establish an Innovation Framework and Delivery Plan for the Black Country to be delivered by the local authorities and partner organisations. This framework and delivery plan will complement the Place-based Strategies and Local Growth Plans currently under development by local authorities and the West Midlands Combined Authority by outlining the role of innovation in supporting economic growth.
The Innovation Framework and Delivery Plan will be developed through methods such as (but not limited to) a literature/evidence base review, analysis of internal business support and regeneration documentation, and a detailed consultation and engagement process with relevant stakeholders, businesses and associated agencies which will form short, medium and long-term programmes to be delivered. Input on the appropriate methodology to pursue is also welcomed through the tender process.
The funding of this project is through the following funding streams:
Sandwell - Global West Midlands Fund
Walsall/Dudley - UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF)
