## Summary

Wealden District Council has completed the procurement process for the "ESPH SB Wealden Community Lottery," appointing an External Lottery Manager to establish and manage this initiative. The procurement was classified under lottery operating services and utilised an open procedure method. The contract period is set from 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2025, with the lottery launch anticipated in August 2022, and the first draw scheduled for September 2022. The closing date for tenders was 21st January 2022, with all operations based in East Sussex, UK.

This initiative presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the community and social enterprise sector, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering lottery operating services. The appointment of the External Lottery Manager will facilitate access to alternative funding streams for local voluntary groups affected by financial pressures, thereby bolstering community initiatives. Companies with experience in lottery management or community engagement are well-suited to capitalise on this contract.

## Notice

Wealden District Council ('the Council') is looking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced External Lottery Manager to set up and operate a Wealden Community Lottery. The Council has a strong track record of supporting local community and voluntary groups (Community and Social Enterprise Sector- VCSE) to deliver voluntary services, projects and activities in the community. It has been delivering a Community Grant Programme since 2005. The Council is aware that over the past 5-10 years, it has been harder for the VCSE to access funding as traditional funding pots such as the Lottery have been reduced and re-prioritised. Covid -19 has had a devastating impact on the VCSE sector in terms of their ability to fund raise which has affected their income streams and as a result has impacted on the support that can be provided to local activity. A local lottery would be an alternative income stream for VCSE benefiting from a percentage of lottery ticket sales whilst at the same time it will enable additional income to be generated to support wider Council initiatives at a time of financial challenges. It is expected that the ELM will be appointed in early 2022 with the Wealden Community Lottery launching in August 2022 and the first draw taking place in September.
