## Summary

The Allerdale Borough Council is currently conducting a tender titled "Growth Strategy and Workington Investment Plan" aimed at updating its Business Growth Plan in light of recent national developments. This procurement falls under the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services, with a total budget of £250,000. The tender period is set to close on 6 March 2020, and the contract is expected to commence on 31 March 2020 and conclude by 28 December 2020. The services are to be delivered in the North West region of England, with the procurement method being an open procedure.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in local economic development. Companies with expertise in economic strategy, consultancy, or related services would be well-positioned to submit proposals. The updated growth strategy will reflect new societal and economic conditions, indicating that businesses aligned with those changes may find potential for collaboration and growth as part of this initiative.

## Notice

Directive 2014/24/EU Allerdale Borough Council commissioned a Business Growth Plan in 2016. A lot has happened since then at a national level that has had local implications - Brexit, changes in the retail sector, new regeneration funding programmes - to name but a few. In addition to this, the Local Government election in 2019 resulted in a change of administration at Allerdale. The time is right to update and expand our current approach to growth and economic development to reflect our new Council Strategy.
