## Summary

Ashfield District Council is seeking a qualified consultant for the project titled "CPU 5313 Hucknall Levelling Up Fund: Bid Development". This initiative is part of the UK government's £4.8 billion Levelling Up Fund aimed at improving local infrastructure, which includes regenerating town centres and enhancing local transport. The tender is currently open, with a deadline for bid submissions set for 22 February 2022. The contract, valued at £30,000, is expected to commence on 7 March 2022 and conclude by 31 July 2022. This opportunity falls under the business and management consultancy services sector, specifically within the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in business and management consultancy, particularly those with experience in preparing bids for government funding. Eligible businesses can leverage their expertise to support Ashfield District Council in successfully securing funds to benefit Hucknall and its surrounding areas. Companies with a proven track record in public sector consultancy and project delivery will be well-positioned to compete for this contract, as the council requires a consultant with relevant qualifications and experience to maximise the potential benefits of the Levelling Up Fund.

## Notice

The Levelling Up Fund is part of the government's investment programme. The PS4.8 billion Levelling Up Fund will invest in infrastructure that improves everyday life across the UK, including regenerating town centres and high streets, upgrading local transport, and investing in cultural and heritage assets. The Fund will focus on capital investment in local infrastructure that has a visible impact on people and their communities. The Council is planning to submit a bid to Round 2 of the Fund, based on Hucknall but also bringing wider benefits to the rest of the District. The bid requires the formal written support of the local MP. The Council wants to appoint a suitably experienced and qualified consultant to prepare the bid, which we anticipate will be submitted sometime in Spring 2022, depending on government guidance.
