Key targets include: • 225 individuals receiving tailored business mentoring. • 60 new businesses established. • 100 existing businesses supported. • 450 attendees participating in accessible training sessions. • Development of accessible onboarding and business support resources. • Establishment of a Business Guild for Disabled Entrepreneurs. • Creation of partnership arrangements with organisations across Wales. ________________________________________ Purpose of the Evaluation Social Firms Wales seeks to appoint an experienced and independent evaluator to undertake a three-year evaluation of the Galluogi project. The evaluation should assess: • The extent to which the project has achieved its agreed outputs and outcomes. • The effectiveness of the project's delivery model. • The impact of the project on participants, their businesses, families and communities. • The extent to which the project has reduced barriers to self-employment for disabled, neurodivergent and disadvantaged individuals. • Whether the project provides a scalable and sustainable model for future delivery and commissioning. • Learning and recommendations to improve delivery throughout the funding period. The evaluation should utilise a combination of quantitative and qualitative evidence and make effective use of project monitoring systems and management information throughout the contract period.
