Decision:
The Deputy Chief Executive has approved 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.
