## Summary

Sheffield City Council is seeking a provider for the "Provision of Growth Hub Enhancement Project Evaluation" in the services industry, specifically under research and development services, with an estimated contract value of £50,000. The tender process is currently active, having been published on 2nd May 2017, with a tender submission deadline of 31st May 2017. The contract is set to commence on 20th June 2017 and will last until 31st March 2019, focusing on delivering both formative and summative evaluations of the Growth Hub project within the Yorkshire and the Humber region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand their consultancy services, particularly those specialising in project evaluation, assessment, and related research.

## Notice

We are looking to appoint an organisation to provide an ongoing evaluation of the Growth Hub Enhancement project. In brief, the requirement of the contract is two-fold. 1. To provide ongoing formative assessment of the project to help us assess how well the project is being delivered, to make recommendations on how to refine and improve our services and to identify areas of best practice. 2. A summative assessment is a specific requirement of our funders and must be completed by March 2019 at the latest. It will be impact based and undertaken according to the funder's common framework and methodology, which will be provided to the supplier as soon as it becomes available. Section 5 of the ITT provides more details of the requirements. This opportunity is part financed by the European Regional Development Fund through the European Structural and Investment Programme (ESIF) 2014-2020.
