## Summary

The procurement process involves the Cornwall Development Company Ltd seeking an experienced supplier for a comprehensive evaluation of the Regional Growth Fund (RGF) and Growing Places Fund (GPF). The tender, titled "Programme Evaluation", is classified under evaluation consultancy services and is situated in the South West region of the United Kingdom. Initially published on 4th December 2018, the tender process has since progressed to the award stage, with a contract value of £40,000 awarded to Ash Futures Limited on 10th January 2019. The contract runs from 11th January 2019 to 31st March 2019, having a deadline for submissions that was set for 2nd January 2019.

This opportunity presents a significant prospect for consulting firms, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a focus on evaluation and economic impact assessments. Businesses equipped with expertise in qualitative and quantitative research methodologies would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts, benefiting from the increasing demand for assessment of public funding programmes like the RGF and GPF. The successful evaluation will aid in understanding the impact of these funds on the local economy, thus contributing to sustainable business growth.
