Sheffield City Region: Local Growth Fund Programme Deliverability Review 2018

The Statutory Officers of the CA, on behalf of the LEP, are seeking to commission an independent deliverability review of the Local Growth Fund programme focussing on projects which have not commenced or are between phases of delivery. This review should forensically assess and report on the potential of each project and sub programme to complete the planned delivery tasks, including securing all necessary powers / approvals / permissions, within the current LGF funding window. Bids are requested from suitably experienced organisations to undertake the review process, taking a lead role in analysing available project information and challenging the current delivery assumptions relating to project resourcing, issue management and active issue and risk mitigation plans. The key output will be a report to the LEP which recommends the viability of individual projects with regards to delivering the outputs and outcomes to the agreed time and cost criteria. We also require the successful applicant to set out the key delivery risks for each project to focus the SCR assurance process.
