In July 2014, the government announced the
‘Growth Deal’ for Leeds City Region – that is,
the allocation of funding for local projects and programmes
supporting the creation of jobs and the acceleration of growth.
Funding begins in April 2015, and, including support for the West
Yorkshire plus Transport Fund, the LEP has secured over £70m
for the coming financial year and £573m overall for the
period to 2020-21. As part of the preparation for delivery, the LEP
team needs to develop project management, monitoring and evaluation
arrangements, as well as assist with further project development
and appraisal for the capital projects that have been successful in
attracting support. The current staffing resources available to the
team are insufficient to carry out the necessary work. This
decision involves the engagement of VG Analytics to provide the
required resources and skills to ensure the work can be completed
quickly and to a high enough standard.
