## Summary

Kent County Council is overseeing the SC21066 - C-Care Green Recovery Voucher Scheme, a project aimed at aiding Kent businesses in light of the socio-economic challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. This open tender, which was published on 22nd December 2021, is classified under financial and insurance services and seeks to mobilise around £150,000 over a contract period from 22nd February 2022 to 22nd February 2023. The scheme is designed to support approximately 100 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) based in Kent that can apply for vouchers to implement sustainable solutions to bolster their resilience and facilitate green economic recovery. The tender period has already ended, concluding on 31st January 2022.

This initiative presents unique opportunities for SMEs across various sectors, particularly those focusing on sustainability and environmental solutions. Businesses with capabilities in law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, and other business services could greatly benefit from engaging with this scheme, tapping into the provided funding to enhance their green initiatives. The expected participation of multiple local suppliers, including Eco Electrical Contractors and Meercat Associates, highlights a competitive landscape for those willing to innovate and contribute to sustainable practices in the post-pandemic recovery phase.

## Notice

Kent County Council is leading on a new EU-funded project called C-Care (Covid Channel Area Response Exchange). The project aims to respond to some of the socio-economic challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. C-Care involves 4 English and 3 French partner organisations who are jointly implementing the project. C-Care will provide support to businesses and individuals at risk of exclusion in the France-Channel England area to aid economic recovery. As part of this project, the Environment, Planning & Enforcement Division within Kent County Council will run a 'Green Recovery' voucher pilot scheme to provide support to Kent businesses which have been impacted by the pandemic. The scheme is a non-statutory service and will enable Kent businesses to apply for a 'voucher' to implement a sustainable solution or project to help them with business resilience and green economic recovery. The voucher scheme is worth around PS150,000 (depending on the Euro exchange rate) and aims to support 100 Kent-based SMEs (small & medium sizes enterprises). The scheme will launch in early 2022 and will run for approximately of 1 year (subject to the number of applications received and the voucher budget being allocated) and will provide practical support to Kent-based businesses in several sectors which have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and which could benefit from adopting new green processes and solutions to help them recover and grow.
