### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Welsh Government (WG) wishes to commission an evaluation of the impact of the European Social Fund (ESF) supported Communities for Work (CfW) and the Welsh Government funded Communities for Work Plus (CfW+) programmes. The broad aim of the programmes is to increase the employability (and employment) of adults with complex barriers to employment, who are often those furthest from the labour market, and reduce the number of 16-24 year olds who are Not in Education, Employment, or Training. The aim of the evaluation is to provide Welsh Government with robust information on the impact of the CfW and CfW+ programmes. The evaluation has three stages and includes process and outcome evaluations, which will require a mixed methodology approach.

Renewal: Potential 6 month extension period.
