## Summary

## Notice

GC BGH is committed to robust evaluation of its activities to meet contractual requirements, inform service design and delivery, innovate new services and demonstrate the economic impact and value for money of its services to funders and stakeholders. Following the submission and approval of a business case, available on request to tenderers, PS7.4M of Retained Business Rates funding was secured from Greater Manchester's ten Local Authorities to fund the Business Productivity, Innovation and Inclusive Growth (BPIIG) programme, outlined below, over the period January 2022 - September 2023, leveraging a further PS8.6M ERDF funding. The overall programme, including public and private sector match, equates to c.PS19.5M that will fall within the scope of the evaluation being tendered for. GC BGH also secured PS1.3M of ERDF funding and an additional PS231k match funding from Lancashire County Council for 2 programmes delivered in Lancashire. These programmes also fall within the scope of the evaluation being tendered for. Whilst the BPIIG programme commenced January 2022, the original Business Productivity and Inclusive Programme (BPIG), and the majority of GC BGH's ERDF programmes, commenced 2018 (2015 for its Sectors and Access to Finance ERDF programmes), with overall funding totalling cPS80M. Tenderers should note that their submissions should be compliant with the monitoring and evaluation requirements of both the GMCA and ERDF (this document reflects the requirements of the GMCA). Final evaluations for ERDF funded programmes will also need to comply with the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) Summative Assessment Guidance, available on the gov.uk website.
