Tender description

This is an Expression of Interest notice in advance of the release on Monday 27th January 2020 of an Invitation of Tender by the Government of Jersey to engage a strategic partner (client side expert) to work with us to deliver our Future Economy Programme. The Future Economy programme is designed to deliver a range of initiatives and projects to improve productivity and support a sustainable, vibrant economy and a skilled workforce for the Island of Jersey future. The programme will develop a clear overview of how the Jersey economic ecosystem fits together, identifying threats, contraints and opportunities, to determine how sectors might evolve linking back to skills and investment decisions. Through this robust programme of work, the Government of Jersey (GOJ) will be able to: • Better understand the opportunities and challenges facing the overarching economy, as well as sector by sector. • Develop policy levers to maximise opportunities and mitigate threats. • Execute projects to deliver these policies to optimise the way government and businesses work across the economy. • Develop an Economic Framework as set out in the CSP 2018-22 to Provide structure and direction to drive productivity improvements, but also to drive a. socially and environmentally sustainable and inclusive growth and b. wider economic well-being which is aligned with Jersey’s overarching strategic policies. Inform decision making and identification of investment and change priorities. The Future Economy Political Oversight Group has been set up to oversee the governance and development of the Future Economy Programme on behalf of the Council of Ministers (COM). To deliver what the Island requires from the economy there needs to be a long-term economic programme. However, delivery of the scale and compexity of this ambitious programme of activity is beyond the current capacity and expertise of the Economy and Partnerships team whilst maintaining businesss-as-usual activity. Therefore we seek to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced Strategic Partner (client-side expert )to represent and support GOJ) for 18-24 months, with the option to extend an additional 12 months if required, to support the GOJ to manage and commission the portfolio of economic consultancy required.
