• Identify whether expected outputs, outcomes and impact were achieved (including an assessment of equality and diversity)
• Demonstrate the economy, efficiency and effectiveness offered by the consortium in delivering the programme. This includes an assessment of the management capability.
• Combining the above, assess whether the project provided VFM.
• Identify lessons learned.
Region(s) of supply: Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.
