Description

Essex has an opportunity to achieve transformational change for residents and businesses by “crowding in” capital investment from the public and private sectors. Within this context, the Council needs to be assured that its resources are focused on the right areas and actions across the county to achieve the best outcomes for residents and businesses and provide the best value for money for taxpayers. This requires business cases based on robust socioeconomic research and analysis, economic appraisal and monitoring and evaluation. ECC’s Sustainable Growth Directorate is seeking a single consultant to provide up to £450,000+VAT of socioeconomic services to support capital projects that deliver the priorities identified in the Everyone’s Essex plan.
