The Provision of an Interim Evaluation and Summative Assessment of the ERDF Healthcare Business Connect Lancashire (HBCL)

Tender description

The HBCL programme is part funded through Priority Axis 3 (investment priority 3c) of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). An ERDF grant of £759k has been approved and the total project value (including match funding) is £1.2 million. As the project is funded via ERDF, the Contracting Authority (as the accountable body for the ERDF funding) is required to produce a Summative Assessment Report at the end of the project. This report must be fully compliant with the Summative Assessment requirements published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). The guidance can be accessed here. The full Summative Assessment will need to be signed off and submitted to MHCLG as part of the project closure procedure. The Contracting Authority is looking for proposals from suitably qualified Suppliers to conduct an interim evaluation and develop this ERDF Summative Assessment which will comply fully with MHCLG's requirements.
