Outset services and content, have delivered benefits much wider than the typical outputs required by European funded programmes, and has been independently evaluated by the New Economics Foundation in respect of these wider economic and social benefits that it delivers to local economies.

For example, what relationships they may already have with relevant stakeholders or businesses, what outreach, promotion and engagement activities or expertise they could contribute.
The successful bidder or bidders will be required to use Outset CIC’s Customer Relationship Management system on which training will be provided, and collect a range of paper-based data, evidence and contractual forms regarding delivery, outputs and results.
