Description

Somerset County Council (the Council) as Accountable Body on behalf of the Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership (HotSW LEP) is issuing this Request for Quotation for Monitoring and Evaluation for the HotSW LEP.

The Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership is seeking to appoint a contractor to conduct two pieces of evaluation work through to mid May 2017. The two pieces of work are:
• The Annual Strategic Review - Reflecting on progress against Strategic Economic Plan (SEP) objectives and priorities, evidencing action taken by the LEP to further these priorities. A particular focus of the review will be to evidence the Strategic Added Value achieved by the LEP (e.g. influencing partners), as well as securing direct investment. The review would also reflect on our overall economic performance and progress towards our key outcomes.
• Process Review - the LEP rapidly established a £500m investment portfolio through to early 2016. Some of the individual investments in the portfolio are complete with others yet to start. A process evaluation will help understand which elements of the process are working well and which elements are not whilst providing an opportunity for our stakeholders to feedback.
