Lot Information
Lot 1
The York & North Yorkshire Combined Authority (YNYCA) invites proposals from external evaluators to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the 2025/26 UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and Rural England Prosperity Fund (REPF) programmes. The evaluation will assess the impact, value for money, and effectiveness of funded initiatives, ensuring that lessons learned inform future policy and investment decisions. A key outcome will be identifying how the findings align with and support the region's wider economic framework, ensuring that UKSPF/REPF-funded programmes contribute to long-term strategic priorities.
