Both the public and the private sector are facing budget cuts, have limited resources and have fewer funding and financing opportunities.

At the same time, everyone is being asked to be more productive, more effective and achieve greater outcomes. Therefore, it is critical that investment decisions and business policies are made upon sound evidence and intelligence to ensure that any action delivers the greatest impact.

Through the new National Planning Policy Framework there is greater emphasis on supporting tools and interventions that support economic growth and a more balanced economy. More importantly, each local area is being given the opportunity to shape their future but that vision and policy must be based upon local evidence and intelligence and engagement with the local community.

This represents great opportunities but also difficult challenges ensuring that decisions, policies and actions are based upon robust evidence and knowledge.

Nupremis can provide you with robust economic impact assessments, socio economic appraisals and policy evaluations. This will ensure that you have the in depth knowledge on which to base sound decisions, have clearly defined outcomes and have a better understanding of what success might look like.
