Discovery and development of Economic Monitoring Tool

The Council has run a mini competition to appoint a provider to undertake discovery work to lead the development of a Minimum viable Product (MVP) which utilises both council data and open data to deepen our understanding of the trends and developments in the economy. The initial driver it is to understand how the economy is responding to Brexit, but we intend this Product to develop further over time to help us make informed decisions around policy development. Additionally the Product may be applied to monitor the impact of interventions, for instance, work on inclusive growth and to accelerate our MIT Regional Entrepreneurship Acceleration Programme (REAP)
