The Jurassic Coast World Heritage Team wish to create an economic, social and cultural impact assessment framework for the Dorset and East Devon Coast (Jurassic Coast) World Heritage Site, and we would like to invite your organisation to submit a tender to carry out this piece of work on our behalf.

The broad aim of this impact study will be to assess how effectively the outstanding natural environment of the Jurassic Coast may drive economic, social and cultural regeneration within the surrounding area, and the study will involve two parts:

1. Production of a study measuring the economic, social and cultural impact of the wide range of activities stimulated by the catalyst of World Heritage Site designation, including those deriving from the site's management plan and ensuing programme of partnership work, from designation in 2001 to date

2. Creation of a Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for the South West Regional Development Agency (SWRDA) funded Jurassic Coast Framework Programme (JCFP), within the context of the broader ongoing management and work programme of the World Heritage Site

The attached document outlines in further detail the context, scope and details of the study, which has a maximum budget of £40 000.
