## Summary

Knowsley Council is seeking to engage a specialist organisation to provide retail support for town centres in Prescot and Huyton. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, following an open procedure. The contract is valued at £50,000 and encompasses industry categories related to hotel, restaurant, and retail trade services, with a tender period ending on 4th June 2020. The contract is anticipated to commence on 6th July 2020 and will last for one year, concluding on 5th July 2021.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in retail and leisure support services, particularly those equipped to address challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Companies offering tailored support and training could particularly benefit from this contract, as there is a focus on providing immediate assistance as well as ongoing support for local businesses. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to consider this opportunity, engaging with the council to demonstrate their expertise in revitalising high street retail sectors.

## Notice

COVID-19 represents the most dramatic public health emergency for this generation and is affecting every local high street and community across the UK. It is important that retailers are agile enough to adapt to the challenges ahead and are robust enough to survive this economic shock. The Council is looking to engage the services of an organisation to provide tailored practical support and training to businesses in Prescot and Huyton. The organisation should specialise in retail and leisure led business support within a High St setting and address the significant challenges that these sectors face on a local and national scale. The offer must also include a specialist and immediate tailored support package to businesses in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, as well as an on-going support package for businesses thereafter.
