The tender sought an Events Consultant to oversee projects detailed in the Town Improvement Plan. The project falls within the industry category of project management consultancy services and event services, and is situated in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

The awarded contract, valued at £30,000 GBP, encompasses substantial improvements to Lemon Quay, such as new street furniture, landscaping, and facilities to encourage year-round use. Businesses specialising in project management, event planning, and related services, particularly those experienced in public space optimisation and community engagement, will find the scope and scale of this project conducive to showcasing and expanding their service capabilities in a dynamic urban setting. Truro City Council, known for its active community involvement and urban planning initiatives, provides an excellent platform for innovators and established service providers alike to contribute to and benefit from the city's evolutionary growth.

## Notice

In June 2021, Truro was awarded PS23.6 million from the Government's PS3.6 billion Towns Fund to bring a step-change in how we live, work and enjoy Truro. This money will help to future proof Truro whilst celebrating its unique character. A Truro Town Deal Board was created to oversee the development of a Town Improvement Plan (see About Truro Town Fund | Truro Town Deal and Truro-Town-Investment-Plan_010221.pdf (trurotownfund.com)) which details the projects that would be delivered as part of the Town Deal. The overall vision of the Truro Town Deal is that "By 2030, Truro will be a 'Connected River City' worthy of being Cornwall's capital and fulfilling its potential as a modern economic, social, environmental and cultural capital for Truro residents and the wider Cornwall community". One of the projects supported by the Truro Town Deal is the reimagining of Lemon Quay which is a large public space in the centre of Truro that is owned by Cornwall Council but managed under licence by Truro City Council. Whilst the Town Improvement Plan envisaged the construction of a permanent covered area on Lemon Quay this has not been possible to deliver but the works relating to new furniture and landscaping that will create green space at the heart of the city adding to Truro's appeal as a vibrant city and complementing the retail offer is going ahead and will be complete by the end of December 2025. The redevelopment of Lemon Quay is being led by Cornwall Council and whilst the majority of the scheme relates to capital works to improve the public realm areas of Lemon Quay (e.g. investment in improved landscaping, seats, trees, planters, ducts for power cables to reduce trip hazards and a Changing Places facility in the existing toilets) it also includes funding to encourage the increased use of Lemon Quay especially outside the core summer holiday season. This aspect of the project is being led by Truro City Council. In order to apply please submit your proposal to info@truro.gov.uk by 1200 noon on the closing date.
