Description

Government client requires an experienced Economist to provide an independent, detailed and thorough economic impact assessment of hosting the Games in the UK in 2022.

You will have strong analytical skills and the ability to generate a robust economic impact assessment of hosting the Commonwealth Games in a range of circumstances.

Familiarity with the HM Treasury Green Book guidance (attached) and experience of major sport events is desirable but not essential.

Scope

a) a high-level economic impact assessment of hosting the Games in the UK generally

b) a more detailed economic impact assessments of individual cities' plans to host the Games,

c) the development of the overall business case for hosting the Games and

d) other economist support for the work of the team as required.

The overall outcome of this work will be the provision of two reports, outlining a) the economic impact of hosting the Commonwealth Games in the UK, and b) more detailed economic impact assessments of each candidate city's proposals. These reports must include 'Net Present Value' scores, in line with the guidance. It will also be expected that the work will extend to other economist support for the project, including (but not limited to) overall development of the Business Case for hosting the Games in the UK and advice and guidance on the approach to monitoring economic impact should the bid to host be successful.

The use of tables and graphic overviews where appropriate is highly recommended. It is important that the final reports are well-structured, succinct, well-written, in plain English and suitable for a non-specialist policy audience. Other publications should be clearly referenced. You will be required to provide regular weekly updates either in person, on the phone, or in writing, on the progress of the analysis and initial findings. Once appointed, you will be expected to meet with to discuss and agree approach and methodology. We expect whoever is working on the project to co-locate with the Delivery Unit team in London.

You will have strong analytical skills and the ability to generate a robust economic impact assessment of hosting the Commonwealth Games in a range of circumstances.
