Description

The Sheffield City Region Combined Authority (SCR CA) requires the provision of consultancy services ona call-off basis, to assist with the central co-ordination and scrutiny of schemes submitted for Local Growth Fund (LGF) and other funding support as well as support with responding to funding opportunities from central government. The SCR LEP and CA boards have determined that all schemes seeking funding must provide information following the Green Book approach and in line with prevailing guidance for the type of investment (e.g. WebTAG for transport schemes, MHCLG guidelines for housing etc). The consultants will provide assistance to facilitate this appraisal process, by undertaking the following tasks;
1- Appraise all business cases and supporting evidence submitted (including Appraisal Specification Reports)and provide comment, advice and recommendations as appropriate
2- Identify gaps in evidence and specify any clarifications required ahead of any recommendation for investment.
3- Recommend whether a project should be progressed for funding approval
4- Provide technical input to support SCR CA funding bids
5- Remain independent and inform SCR of any (potential) conflict of interest that may arise
