Strategy Development, Stakeholder Mapping and Consultation

LSBU has been collaborating with local authorities, HE, FE private and 3rd sector for many years on the delivery of above programmes with beneficial impacts for the economy and society, however we believe we could be better at understanding, enhancing and promoting the full range of what we do and why it matters.

Therefore, we are seeking a consultant to help us build on this existing portfolio of work and support LSBU Group to: - establish SBI as a key strategic partnership able to influence the design and delivery of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund3 - support the development of a 'USP' and policy position for SBI with regard to the objectives, priorities and architecture of the UKSPF and other related funding streams.

This should be based on the evidence of successful delivery of ESF and ERDF projects by LSBU Group and its partners between 2014-2023. - develop a funding strategy and action plan to ensure LSBU has a key role in the design and delivery of UK Shared Prosperity Fund as it is rolled out in late 2021.
