Our Plan for Regional Prosperity has been informed and driven by evidence and builds on our solid track record of delivery to date, positively articulating the ways in which we can power a diverse and balanced economy creating opportunities for everyone.
The underpinning evidence base has been reviewed and approved by the Office for National Statistics and has been supported by extensive engagement.
Our evidence base provides a snapshot of our region’s economy as well as the businesses and people based here, identifying our areas of strength, opportunity and our challenges.
Read our evidence base below.
Please also note APS estimates have been downgraded to “official statistics in development”. ONS states that “rates published from the APS remain robust; however, levels and changes in levels should be used with caution. This affects all APS periods from April 2019 to March 2020 onwards”.
Further detail for metrics may be available in the data packs, available on request – please contact TVCAEconomicIntelligence@teesvalley-ca.gov.uk.

To ensure we realise our vision and change the region’s future for the better, we will monitor our performance against a new set of key indicators to demonstrate the impact of Our Plan for Regional Prosperity.
These indicators have been co-developed with Government and are, therefore, closely aligned with national outcome frameworks without losing focus of the real impacts we want to achieve across our region.
The new Local Outcomes Framework for Tees Valley will ensure we can measure the impact of our plan and provide assurances and confidence to our communities, local businesses, strategic partners and central government.
We intend to monitor our collective progress regularly and produce periodic reports of our performance – these will be published on our website and form part of our routine governance arrangements. As part of the reporting process, we will also provide more detailed updates on all the outcomes linked to the numerous projects and programmes which underpin our investments and delivery of Our Plan for Regional Prosperity.
An overview of the Tees Valley economy is produced monthly and available here. This update includes a monthly economic update, unemployment update and job vacancies update. Key topics include GDP and productivity, business and trade, labour market and skills, employment, and job postings information.
