## Notice

WECA has a requirement for the independent review of business cases seeking funding from the LEP funding streams (LGF, EDF, RIF) and the West of England Investment Fund. The aim of the independent reviews is to provide challenge and scrutiny of scheme viability, deliverability and anticipated outcomes. In doing so the independent reviews will help to support project investment decision making by the WECA Committee and West of England Joint Committee. The reviewer will be required to undertake assessments of both Outline and Full Business Cases seeking both capital and revenue funding across diverse projects including skills, business support, enabling infrastructure, transport and other building projects.
