We're seeking to appoint a partner to carry out an independent evaluation of our Economic Inactivity Trailblazer programme.
Local London is one of three sub-regional partnerships delivering Economic Inactivity Trailblazers in London funded through the Greater London Authority (GLA) by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), under the national Get Britain Working initiative. Up to £7 million has been allocated to Local London to test new approaches to reducing economic inactivity.
The Local London Trailblazer consists of three interlinked delivery streams:
· Economic Inactivity Support Programme.
· Business Startup and Self-Employment Support.
· Childcare Support Fund.

We're looking for a partner to use a range of qualitative and quantitative evaluation methods to report on the programme. The evaluation will help:
· Assess the effectiveness of the interventions designed as part of the Local London Trailblazer programme to reduce economic inactivity.
· Assess the effectiveness of the delivery approach and model led by Local London (which includes a combination of direct delivery and commissioning of activity.)
· Assess the effectiveness of partnership, collaboration and engagement between Local London boroughs, health and skills providers, employers and businesses to support economically inactive residents.
· Inform future scaling of effective models across London.
· Shape the design and delivery of Connect to Work in the Local London sub-region and future DWP-funded employment programmes.
· Strengthen alignment between employment, health, and skills systems.
· Contribute to national policy through robust evidence of “what works.”
We are seeking submissions that reflect the complexity of evaluating a multi-borough, multi-partner programme and offers practical insight to support ongoing learning and delivery refinement.
