The service works to deliver critical issues facing the Devon economy as identified within DCC's 'Strategy for Growth 2013-20', to secure the following strategic outcomes: * A more productive economy * A higher wage economy * Inclusive employment opportunities and a workforce with the right skills for the future. * A well-connected county * A thriving business community Additional information: DCC is using the Supplying the South West portal (http://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk/) for this tender opportunity.
