Description

Sustainable economic growth and business growth is a key priority for Worcestershire County Council, the district councils and the Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership. Set out in the corporate plan, the Open for Business strategy focuses on 'rebalancing' Worcestershire's local economy through a series of measures aimed at encouraging and supporting private sector investment, business and employment growth.

The Council, in conjunction with partners, delivers a number of 'Open for Business' projects funded from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) to support businesses to start-up, grow and invest in Worcestershire. The current projects end in 2019 and a review and evaluation of the Council's projects is required to understand the benefit and impact of the projects and to inform future service development and provision to develop future funding applications.

The Council are looking for an organisation to undertake final evaluations of European funded projects. The overall aim of the evaluation is to assess the effectiveness, performance and impact of the projects.
