Tender description

This requirement is for an evaluation of infrastructure funded by the ERDF. The primary objective is to provide evidence on different infrastructure projects that have worked together. The Welsh Government wishes to commission an evaluation of infrastructure funded by the ERDF in the 2000-06 and 2007-13 Programming periods. The primary objective is to provide evidence on whether, and if so how, different infrastructure projects have worked together within the same geographical area for the benefit of the area in terms of the local economy, residents, and businesses. In order to meet this primary objective, the evaluation needs to be informed by a thorough understanding of how the infrastructure is being used and whether this is in line with original intentions. The evaluation should also consider the feasibility of undertaking an impact evaluation in the future.
