This procurement falls under the category of research and development services and is classified with the CPV code 73000000. The tender period is set to close on 12 March 2020, with the contract expected to commence on 30 March 2020 and run until 1 July 2020. The estimated contract value is £25,000 and services will be delivered in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in economic consultancy, community engagement, and strategic development. Businesses that can demonstrate an understanding of local economic conditions and an ability to engage with diverse stakeholders will be particularly well-suited to compete. By participating in this contract, successful bidders can contribute to a transformative economic strategy that aims to increase job opportunities and support inclusive growth within the region. ## Notice York has had a clear and consistent economic strategy for many years - to grow higher paid employment by focussing on key sectors, and to bring forward key regeneration sites including York Central and what is now called the Castle Gateway. The results have been good, with significant growth in financial services, professional, scientific and technical employment, and expansion of our Universities. York now has the best qualified working age population in the north, pay above the regional average, and a reputation as one of the best places to live in or visit in the UK. This growth must be supported to continue, however, it is becoming increasingly clear that we must also seek more opportunities for people from all backgrounds to increase their prosperity. At the heart of this approach, as set out in the Council Plan and in a series of papers presented to the Leader, Executive Member for Economy and Economy and Place Scrutiny Committee between July 2019 and February 2020, is a focus on the lived experience of our residents and a new broader economic partnership. In developing a new and inclusive Economic Strategy for York, we are seeking to put the lived experience of residents at the heart of our thinking, and to undertake extensive engagement with residents and businesses to build a strong sense of collaboration in planning for our future. The themes of housing, transport, care and food have been identified through a series of internal workshops, and the strategy will include consideration of the financial impact of these themes. The Economic Strategy Consultation Draft (ESCD), developed as a deck of presentation slides, will form the basis of the engagement.
