Notice Title

Wickford BID Feasibility Study

Notice Description

Basildon Brough Council wishes to appoint a suitable consultant / consultancy firm to: * Organise a 'team building and shared visioning' workshop in Wickford (for key public, private, educational and voluntary/community stakeholders interested in shaping the future of Wickford town Centre); and * Undertake a Feasibility Study to assess the potential for establishing a viable Business Improvement District (BID) partnership in the town of Wickford, in Basildon borough. The reason we are asking the consultant to organise a 'team building and shared visioning' workshop at the outset of the process is because we believe there is some evidence to suggest that we need to increase some stakeholders understanding of the need for solid partnership working of this process is to work and we think there would be some value in helping these same stakeholders understand the scale and of the opportunity, build a shared vision for Wickford Town Centre and establish a strong consensus and buy in to this vision. Once this workshop is complete, we are looking for the consultant to help us to undertake a BID Feasibility Study. Whilst we need to be guided by the outcome of the Feasibility Study, if the results are positive and the indications are that the development of a BID might be viable in Wickford, we may then subsequently want to work with the appointed consultant to develop a Business Plan for Business Improvement District in Wickford, in order to be able to use this Business Plan to further progress the establishment of a BID in the town. Basildon Brough Council is inviting quotations from organisations capable of undertaking this work. The successful organisation should: * Have a proven track record in completing Economic Development related feasibility studies. * Have a proven track record in preparing actionable business plans. * Be able to demonstrate a full understanding and application of BIDs legislation. * Ability to communicate effectively with the BID Task Team, wider business community, Council and public sector.
