The project aims to enhance the aesthetic of towns within Thurrock, improve business resilience to COVID-19, and strengthen the local economy. The procurement process is at the Tender stage, with applications due by 3rd February 2022. The contract is expected to commence on 7th February 2022 and conclude by 31st March 2022. This procurement falls under the category of "Other community, social and personal services" and involves an open procedure, encouraging participation from diverse suppliers. This contract presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs) to engage in community beautification initiatives. Businesses with expertise in environmental services, event organisation, and local marketing would be particularly well-suited to compete. By contributing to the revitalisation of Thurrock’s high streets, successful bidders can help foster community spirit and potentially enhance their reputations while benefiting from the contract's financial opportunities. ## Notice Thurrock Council has been awarded funding from Government under the Welcome Back Fund (WBF) to deliver projects within key location around the borough, with a view to improving business resilience to COVID-19, strengthening the local economy, improving the aesthetic of our towns and instilling confidence in local people that it is safe to visit and shop here. To re-energise our centres we will be organising local high street events, projects to beautify our towns, improved street furniture to make the areas more welcoming and we will be running a major advertising and social media campaign from November 2021- March 2022 encouraging Thurrock to 'Shop Safe Shop Local'. An important element of this work is to improve the appearance of our high streets with the aim of improving perceptions and increasing footfall, while at the same time building community spirit and developing a sense of community ownership. We are looking to appoint an organisation that has expertise in this area and can support the objectives outlined in the Specification document, which is accessible through the In-Tend portal. The Welcome Back Fund is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). Additional information: Applications must be submitted through the In-Tend portal.
