Six projects are to be selected as exemplar projects and these will require a more in depth analysis of their achievements, benefits, outputs and outcomes. c) Whole Growth Deal programme evaluation. Including an annual evaluation workshop to analyse and measure the success and benefits of the whole Growth Deal programme. The framework contract is a three year contract with the option to extend for up to a further year.
