The Arts Council England awarded a contract to Nordicity for the external evaluation of the Creative Local Growth Fund (CLGF).

The evaluation assessed the fund against its three main aims: securing long-term partnerships between Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs), the Arts Council, and local partners; leveraging European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIFs), particularly the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), into the cultural sector; and investing in new approaches while developing learning to inform policy and practice.

It also explored whether the fund met its aims to deliver local economic priorities through arts and cultural investment and established new partnerships locally and nationally, as well as barriers to and support for change and differences between rural and urban areas.

The CLGF had a total value of around £8.6m with match funding, of which Arts Council England invested £3.8m, and funded 9 projects across large-scale areas, mostly running from April 2016 to March 2019, with some delayed due to the EU referendum.

The contract value was AUD 31,785.
