## Notice

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy had a requirement for; The project will evaluate the internal institutional processes of devolved authorities, in particular examining devolved authority implementation, management and delivery. It will also explore some early outcome factors on public perceptions and understanding. The evidence produced will help to illustrate the extent to which the policy aim of improving local government institutions has been borne out. It will also help to identify unintended consequences, risks and threats. Finally, it will directly inform future outcome and impact evaluations of devolution deals, by building a more detailed picture of the processes by which these institutions have designed and implemented their socio-economic interventions. The detailed knowledge gained will enable the design of more tailored and effective outcome/impact evaluations. We will look to repeat this exercise in future to track the progress of the Devolved Authorities, although this will depend on the research results and policy direction of devolution. For any potential future iteration, this study will provide comprehensive baseline data. The requirement was advertised through the CR150025BIS BEIS Research & Evaluation Framework- Lot 4
