The Stirling Council has recently completed the procurement process for the "Regional Economic Strategy" tender, aimed at developing a regional economic strategy for the Forth Valley local authorities in Scotland.

The key stakeholders involved in this process include Stirling Council, Clackmannanshire Council, and Falkirk Council, with the contract focused on the Stirling locality.

This tender for the "Regional Economic Strategy" presents potential business growth opportunities for service providers, especially those experienced in economic strategy development and consultancy services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the consulting sector could find this tender suitable for competing.
