RORE Programme evaluation partner


Invitation to Tender: Reclaiming our Regional Economies programme evaluation partner

Reclaiming Our Regional Economies (RORE) is a five-year programme, launched in 2023 and running until 2028, which is co-ordinated by four not-for-profit organisations specialising in progressive approaches to the economy: New Economics Foundation (NEF), Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES), Co-operatives UK and Centre for Thriving Places (CTP). The programme is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, Barrow Cadbury Trust, Friends Provident Foundation and Power to Change Trust.

RORE seeks to bring communities together with political and institutional leaders to test ideas that help to re-wire and reform their regional economies, so that they deliver good lives now and for generations to come.

We are looking for an evaluation partner to support us to understand the power and impact of new models of community-led policymaking undertaken in partnership with regional partners, including Combined Authorities.

If you are skilled in making sense of power dynamics, complexity and experienced in the nuances of community-led change – please read on and apply. We would love to hear from you.
