<p>In the July 2018 Review, <em>Strengthened LEPs</em>, Government bolstered the rules
that each Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) must follow to ensure greater transparency
on how public money is spent. We continue to review the effectiveness of the assurance
and transparency model that we have in place for LEPs. The National Local Growth Assurance
Framework published in January 2019 provides guidance to LEPs on how places should
appraise, monitor and evaluate schemes to achieve value for money, based on HM Treasury
Green Book standards. Government also receives quarterly performance data from LEPs
through the Framework.</p><p> </p>
