Interim Assessment Consultancy for Digital Enterprise

Restricted Tender to appoint a consultant to conduct an Interim Assessment of the ERDF funded programme for Digital Enterprise Business Support. The Digital Enterprise Programme is a business support programme which aims to help eligible, growth focused businesses, based in the Leeds City Region, to scale up and achieve digital transformation. The programme lead partner and accountable body for ERDF investment is Leeds City Council, leading a partnership between 9 Local Authorities across the City Region. The project has aimed to fill a market gap in the business support offer within the Leeds City Region, to ensure businesses have access to the information, support and investment needed to grow and develop the digital capabilities of their business so that they are well positioned to take advantage of emerging technologies to underpin their business growth. The programme provides three key service strands: (i) Digital Growth Vouchers – a contribution of between £2,000 - £12,500 (up to 50%) for eligible projects valued at between £4,000 to £25,000; (ii) Connectivity Vouchers – a contribution of £500 - £3,000 towards eligible projects improving broadband or introducing leased line/VOIP technology; and (iii) The Digital Knowledge Exchange – an education and support programme based around seminars and webinars plus 1-2-1 assessment and mentoring (typically interventions consist of a minimum of 12 hours support). It is a contractual requirement that an Interim Assessment of delivery is completed at this point.
