Dorset LEP has exceptional governance standards and a suite of policies and processes related to the application of this to programmes of capital funding awarded by Government. We require support in applying these standards to the reporting of our capital funding programmes to government on a bi-annual basis.
The commission is for bi-annual outcome monitoring, data collection and producing of reports for government as per the National Local Assurance Framework, the Dorset LEP Local Assurance Framework, all in accordance with HM Treasury guidance and Dorset LEP Monitoring & Evaluation Plan until March 2025. This invitation to tender welcomes applications from companies or contractors with experience in government capital funding programme management and reporting. A high level of numerical accuracy is essential as is the ability to scrutinise and challenge data returns and the ability to liaise with external stakeholders in a supportive way to ensure accurate information and work through any data errors. A strong business continuity plan and adherence to deadlines to ensure delivery will be essential as part of any application as government timescales cannot be adjusted for reporting.
The total amount available for this work is up to £36, 000 including VAT 2022-2025. The deadline for submissions is noon 1 September 2022.
