Description

The Centre for Innovation and Partnership (CIPs) was established by Newham College of Further Education in 1997 to lead on activities to support the local and regional regeneration agenda, and to open up new ways of training and supporting individuals and businesses.
The College supports businesses across a wide range of sectors, and specialises in support to business start-ups, creative businesses, and businesses owned by women and people from Black and Asian Minority Ethnic communities.
Building Legacies is a partnership of private and public sector organisations providing support to local businesses. Part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), Building Legacies delivers a sustained support programme addressing gaps in Small, Medium and Micro Sized Enterprises' (SMMEs) innovation, contract-readiness and knowledge of procurement and supply-chain requirements. The fundamental aim of Building Legacies is to enhance the competitiveness of SMMEs over a three-year programme enabling businesses to benefit from existing and emerging east London and legacy buying opportunities.
The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is one of the European Union's Structural Funds which is used to tackle regional disparities across Europe. ERDF helps to stimulate economic development and growth; it provides support to businesses, encourages innovation and supports regeneration.

Newham College of Further Education seeks to contract a project evaluator for the 'Building Legacies' project, which is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in London.
The opportunity is to conduct an external project summative assessment of all project activity and to inform improvements in the way the project is delivered until its closure in December 2018. The successful supplier will be responsible for a full impact evaluation report that responds to the requirements of both the GLA and the project partners and which follows the ERDF Project Summative Assessment Guidance.
