What is being bought

Published requirement description

Request for Proposal

West Lancashire Borough Council is seeking a partner to conduct an evaluation of the UKSFP funding received into the Borough.

This evaluation is being commissioned to create an integrated and independent account of what the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) has delivered in West Lancashire, and what can be learned to shape future investment.

While the Council has achieved strong delivery across all three UKSPF priorities and its complementary REPF strand, formal evaluation has not been embedded into the programme to date.

This presents a timely opportunity to consolidate fragmented insight, understand outcomes more clearly, and build a more structured approach to evidencing impact going forward.

Published award criteria (2)
  • Price
  • Quality: Quality including Social Value 5%
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
