The official statistics which will be used in assessing location are listed below:

• Percentage of residents (aged 16-64 years old) claiming out of work benefits 
• Public sector employee job share 
• Number of active enterprises per 1,000 resident population. Check here and here. 
• Private sector employee job growth

The attached file (XLS, 515 Kb)  collates the data which will be used in the assessment.

Taken together, such data will help us form a view of the current state of reliance on public sector employment. However, it will be important to consider other evidence, and bidders are asked to submit any other information they believe will help us in forming a good understanding of the relative reliance of the area the bid will cover.
