Essex Renewal Fund ("ERF") is a revolving investment fund for land and property projects, which supports Essex County Council's ("ECC's") commitments to good jobs, future growth and investment, green growth and levelling up the economy. Over the next 20 years, the Fund aims to invest at least PS100m, supporting 1,500 jobs and bringing to market enough land to deliver 1,000 new homes across Essex.

Further details and a questionnaire pack can be located via the Council's e-sourcing portal, ProContract: https://procontract.due-north.com/Login Please note that you will need to register a supplier account to access the soft market test questionnaire pack.
