Notice Title

CPF2196-22 - Economic Research, Strategy, Policy and Bid Support Framework

Notice Description

Devon County Council (DCC) is looking to establish an Economic Research and Bid Support Framework of suppliers to facilitate the commissioning of economic research and evaluation as well as bid support and business case development.

Lot Information

Economic Research and Analysis

This Lot will be focussed on undertaking bespoke analysis and research of economic events, topics, sectors and geographies, which will enhance and add value to our existing economic evidence base. The gathering of evidence from primary and secondary research and analysing the impacts of certain events on the economy will help to provide a deeper understanding of specific issues relating to the economy of Devon and potentially the wider South-West. This will also assist with providing evidence of proposed interventions (e.g. to assist funding applications), as well as provide support to quantify the outputs from existing initiatives to assess whether they are exercising good practice, providing value for money and have achieved their aims.

Bid Writing and Business Case Development

This Lot is for the provision of specialist technical support to DCC and its partners on an individual project basis in relation to bid writing and business case development. The Lot will be used to commission bid and investment plan writing and services to draw down funding from various sources such as the Shared Prosperity Fund (and Multiply), Community Renewal Fund, Levelling Up funds, alongside other regional and national funds, including sources like Lottery Funds. Other work commissioned through Lot 2 will be for researching and writing business cases for projects such as innovation centres and infrastructure projects. These may include primary research to identify local need, as well as outlining project financials and other aspects of support to project management, through to design and execution. A working knowledge of the economies and public-sector bodies within Devon, the wider Heart of the South West area and other parts of South West England, as well as the application processes for various funding pots is expected of the Bidders.
