This evaluation is aimed at assessing progress and benefits resulting from the implementation of the Skills Strategy published in 2018 and has a contract value of £40,000. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with the tender period having ended on 7 May 2021. The project will be carried out in the North West region of the United Kingdom, with the contract running from 1 June 2021 to 30 September 2021, and it was published on 23 April 2021. The procurement method is an open procedure, welcoming a range of consultants to bid. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for consulting firms, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), that specialise in business services such as consulting and strategic evaluations. Companies with expertise in workforce development and skills assessment would be especially well-suited to compete for this contract, enabling them to play a significant role in shaping the skills landscape of the Liverpool City Region. Engaging in this project could enhance their visibility and credibility within this vital public sector market. ## Notice In 2018, LCRCA published its Skills Strategy 2018 - 2023 that set out a vision for an improved employment and skills system that meets the needs of employers, individuals of all ages and communities. Overall, the purpose of the Strategy was to create a framework to co-ordinate education and training providers, businesses and members of the workforce to make the most of the City Region's talents and resources. Since the Skills Strategy was published, the CA has used it to guide its activities and policies. We would now like to take stock of our progress and achievements to date, the benefits that skills devolution has delivered so far, and reflect on the lessons that we should take into the future. We are looking to appoint a consultancy to conduct this evaluation. Additional information: The tender process will take place on The Chest (www.the-chest.org.uk).
