Devon County Council \(DCC\) is looking to procure an in-life programme evaluation using a Theory of Change methodology to identify desired outcomes of the Programme, route-mapping the necessary actions to achieve the outcomes and a regular review to make sure that the actions are working, and how they could be improved\. DCC will require the Supplier to undertake a research project identifying desired outcomes and measuring mechanisms of the Enhance Social Enterprise Programme\. This will include the development of the combined social impact of the sector, the economic growth and sustainability of the sector, job creation and career opportunity, network membership and new Community Interest Company registrations\.
