Description

ECW was formerly known as the Cheshire & Warrington Local Enterprise Partnership (C&W LEP). It is also responsible for promoting Cheshire and Warrington as a great place to visit, live, work, invest and study through Marketing Cheshire, which is an integral part of ECW and is designated by Visit England as the sub-region's Local Visitor Economy Partnership (LVEP).

Following completion of our recent 'Delivery of the North West Industrial Decarbonisation Cluster Plan' workstream, and support to Net Zero North West to establish its new business model, ECW are looking to further support the delivery of industrial decarbonisation alongside Net Zero North West (NZNW) and the North West Net Zero Hub via the creation of a comprehensive data platform (Project Intelligence Platform - PIP). 

The Platform is required to enable the industrial decarbonisation cluster to have access to as comprehensive and usable set of data as possible about the industrial decarbonisation projects in the pipeline and ultimately underway/delivered. This will ensure that the cluster can continue to realise the investment required, support the job creation, and carbon reduction goals essential for our regional transition to a low-carbon economy and the platform itself will need to enable the wider partnership to measure and demonstrate progress / success to wider stakeholders such as government and investors. 

This procurement exercise is being conducted as a below threshold open tender. The tender documents comprise this ITT document and any other supporting documents. This procurement seeks specialist support from a high-quality supplier to deliver the development (stage 1) and population (stage 2) of a comprehensive Project Intelligence Platform (PIP).

The successful bidder will be required to deliver services in accordance with all tender documents and the contract to be placed with the successful bidder. Tenderers are requested to study the specification in detail and ensure that the specified requirements can be met and thus your understanding of our requirements is reflected in your Pricing Schedule return. 

The contract is expected to commence Wednesday 16th January 2025 with the exact dates to be agreed depending on the agreement between the successful provider and ECW.

Specialist Legal Support for ECW Pre-Transfer Planning

Enterprise Cheshire and Warrington (ECW) is a company limited by guarantee wholly owned by the three unitary authorities in Cheshire and Warrington. It was formerly the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) for the area and brought across its staff, funding role and assets when it transferred to LA ownership in 2024. Cheshire and Warrington is part of the Government's devolution priority programme and will be creating a Combined Authority for the sub-region in Spring 2026. The Combined Authority will take on responsibility for the strategic economic development of Cheshire and Warrington, a role formerly undertaken by the LEP and, more recently, ECW. With the establishment of a new Combined Authority (CA), it is anticipated that some or all functions currently delivered by ECW and CWTB may transfer either to one or more of the sub-region's local authorities, to the CA or to another body. No final decisions have yet been made, and the scope, scale, and nature of any transfer remain under active consideration. The company is seeking to appoint a provider of specialist legal advice to help with those discussions, supporting pre-transfer planning and due diligence on the potential transfer of some or all of ECW's functions, assets, and responsibilities. This support will be commissioned through a retainer and call-off contract. The appointed provider must be able to advise across a broad spectrum of organisational, corporate, public law, employment, and commercial matters, and respond quickly as the transfer landscape becomes clearer.

Evaluation of the Skills Bootcamps Programme

Enterprise Cheshire and Warrington (ECW), a council-owned organisation, works alongside elected leaders to make the region the healthiest, most sustainable, inclusive, and growing place in the country. We collaborate with the three local councils, industry leaders, and community partners to shape economic and transport strategies, deliver skills and employment training and business support, and ensure that the voice of business is heard in local decision-making. Through its Marketing Cheshire division, ECW also champions the region as an outstanding place to live, work, invest, study, and visit. ECW seeks to appoint an experienced and independent evaluation provider to deliver a focused and practical assessment of the Skills Bootcamps Programme. The purpose of this evaluation is to provide a clear understanding of the quality, effectiveness, and overall impact of the programme across the region, capturing the perspectives of learners, employers, training providers, and other key stakeholders. The findings will support ECW in strengthening future delivery models and ensuring that the Skills Bootcamps continue to meet the needs of both learners and employers. The evaluation will assess the effectiveness of programme delivery and the extent to which it has achieved its intended outcomes. It will examine the experiences of training providers, learners and employers as well as local partners. The evaluation will review initial engagement and onboarding through to the completion of delivery, assessing how effectively ECW's support mechanisms have functioned. The evaluator will consider the level of alignment between the design of bootcamps and employer needs, the quality and consistency of delivery, and the barriers that providers may have faced in achieving successful outcomes. The review should also capture evidence of good practice and lessons learned that can inform future programme design.
