## Notice

Middlesbrough Council, working with partners The Auxiliary Project Space, Platform Arts and Teesside University (MIMA), wishes to appoint specialist consultants to lead on the local monitoring and evaluation of its Cultural Development Fund 2 (CDF2) Project. Middlesbrough is one of seven CDF2 projects nationwide, all of which are also participating in a wider national evaluation process. The local evaluation will complement and contribute to the national evaluation programme meaning the local evaluators will work closely with the appointed national evaluator Steer to ensure data collection, monitoring and evaluation requirements are met.
