## Description
1.1.1 Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) are procuring an Evaluation Partner to
undertake a retrospective impact evaluation of both the Adult Education Budget (AEB) and
Skills Bootcamps programmes, overviews of which can be found in sections 1.3 and 1.4 of
this document.
1.1.2 The opportunity has been taken by GMCA to conduct a combined, backward-looking
impact evaluation of AEB and Skills Bootcamps – two key, individual components of the
adult skills landscape.
1.1.3 The programmes are to be evaluated in and of themselves (i.e. not in explicit reference
to any pre- versus post-devolution experiences). Hence, no counterfactual analysis is
required.
1.1.4 The aim of the evaluation will be to provide GMCA with an assessment of whether, and
how, both programmes are achieving their desired impacts and outcomes. It will be expected
to play a primary role in generating learning, evidencing both the successes and shortfalls of
the programmes’ design and delivery models.
1.1.5 The evaluation will stimulate ideas around programme delivery improvements for the
future, including a view on how the programmes might better complement each other as part
of GM’s new vision for an Integrated Technical Education, Skills & Work (ESW) System (see
Page 4 to 7
paragraphs 1.2.8 to 1.2.10 below for further information on the vision). It will also discuss how
they might better contribute to relevant shared commitments set out in the Greater
Manchester Strategy: Good Lives for All (GMS).
