Description

The West of England Mayoral Combined Authority is looking to commission an evaluation of the Retrofit West Scheme that looks at the impact and value for money of the Retrofit services on the supply and demand for domestic retrofit in the West of England region, as well as drawing lessons learnt from the implementation and delivery of Retrofit West (process evaluation) that could be fed into future decision making about funding in this area. The evaluation should take a contribution analysis approach to the impact evaluation, considering what else is contributing to the achievement of outcomes, as well as considering the contextual factors that may be preventing the full achievement of project outcomes.

The evaluation should also review the current literature on homeowner retrofit best practice for local authorities (and combined authorities in particular). It should compare the impact, delivery and value for money of Retrofit West against other 'retrofit accelerator' type projects elsewhere in the country, including Great Manchester Combined Authority's 'Your Home Better'. The MCA would like to understand how Retrofit West compares to industry recommendations and best practice elsewhere, and what we could learn from other projects to strengthen our offer and impact in the West of England region.

The Mayoral Combined Authority uses ATAMIS as its e-procurement system.  Suppliers will need to register at - https://weca-atamis.my.site.com/s/Welcome - to access full documents and submit proposals.

Developing a better understanding of the Children Missing Education (CME), Elective Home Education (EHE) and Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) cohorts in the Humber

The Humber Violence Prevention Partnership (VPP) is a multi-agency partnership committed to providing an evidence-led, public health approach to reducing serious violence across the region. To do that effectively, children and young people must be at the heart of our work-shaping, informing, and driving the strategies and interventions that affect them. Attendance at school is a known protective factor in relation to serious violence. The prevalence of severe absences, suspensions and exclusions is relatively well understood, with data and analysis included with the HVPP Strategic Needs Assessment (SNA ). In addition, other work in respect of 'Trauma informed practice' and the HU9 pilot has been undertaken in the region to increase attendance in school. The VPP is seeking to increase its understanding of children and young people who are defined as CME, EHE or NEET. This work would combine insight into the prevalence of CME, EHE and NEET cohorts (Quantitative) as well as understanding of their challenges (Qualitative). Furthermore, we are particularly keen to ensure that the voices we hear are representative of those children who are in this cohort, including those who have witnessed or experienced violence or abuse. The Humber Violence Prevention Partnership (HVPP) is seeking bids from suitably experienced organisations to provide a reliable and successful service for the activity described in Section 2 of the attached specification document. The value of this requirement is less than £28,500. It is essential to observe and comply with the following instructions in the preparation and submission of your response. The HVPP reserves the right to reject a response that does not fully comply with these instructions. Responses must be completed in English and use the template provided in the attached document, saved in Word or PDF format. Your response must be submitted via email to the address at paragraph 1.7 of the document. Receipt of emails will be acknowledged as quickly as possible.
