Description
The Greater Birmingham & Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership ('the LEP') is seeking quotations from suitably qualified organisations to undertake an 'Evaluation of a GBSLEP Pilot Programme to increase business innovation in key growth industries' which will include innovation 'challenge events', company-centric innovation support and small innovation grant awards.
The pilot programme responds to consultancy findings (Optimat 2018) which identified:
• Industry demand for challenge-led events capable of stimulating demand-led innovation projects including via cross-sector engagement and collaboration;
• A lack of company-centric innovation support in the GBSLEP area;
• Need and demand for small scale innovation grants
Bidding consultants are required to submit their proposed methodology for delivering the work requirement which will need to include:
• Contextual review of the policy context, evidence base and rationale for the pilot programme;
• Review of the pilot programme delivery plans and arrangements including the selected provider(s) event proposals; arrangements for selecting SME-led innovation projects for follow-on support and the grant arrangements for awarding the small innovation grant awards;
• Consultation with the provider organisation(s) pre and post-delivery to understand the pilot programme delivery plans and rationale and learning from the pilot programme;
• Survey of SME beneficiaries of the programme at key milestones including post event delivery, post innovation support - immediately and six months following to establish programme impact
• SME-led innovation project case studies
The pilot programme will be delivered over 9 months between June 2019 and February 2020 and the evaluation contract will be for a longer period of 15 months commencing June 2019 until August 2020 so that the business impact of the programme can be evaluated
