Notice Information

Notice Title

Sussex Visitor Story (Story only)

Notice Description

This contract supports delivery of the action plan for the Sussex Visitor Economy Initiative, a strategic partnership between BHCC, ESCC and WSCC. Currently there are no other contracts that are being held by ESCC, but other contracts supporting the work of the partnership are held by the two other local authorities. The ambition of the SVEI is to initiate a series of large-scale pieces of work to raise the profile of Sussex as a national and international visitor destination. A failure of this contract would impact delivery of future work agreed within the action plan and delay milestones delivery.
