The project is currently in the planning stage, with a prior information notice (PIN) issued on 5 September 2019, signalling the intention to publish the official call for proposals by the week ending 4 October 2019. This contract is valued at £300,000 with a minimum value of £250,000, and the contract period is set to commence on 6 January 2020 and run until 30 December 2022. The project focuses on delivering services primarily in London, aiming to tackle issues such as an aging workforce within the sector and increasing demand for traders in street markets. This opportunity presents significant potential for business growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations that specialise in community services or business support programmes. Companies experienced in mentoring, business development, and community engagement are encouraged to express their interest. The initiative seeks to recruit and support new businesses within street markets, thereby creating an environment conducive to innovation and networking, making it an ideal platform for businesses aimed at fostering local economic development and capacity building in the market sector. ## Notice Transport for London ("TfL") on behalf of the Greater London Authority ("GLA") have issued a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to inform the market of an upcoming opportunity. The Greater London Authority (GLA), on behalf of the London Economic Action Partnership (LEAP), is seeking to appoint an organisation to develop and deliver a European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) business support programme focused around Street Markets and appoint a Service Provider to support an initiative named Tomorrow's Market. Tomorrow's Market recognises the full value of these London assets, and pledges to work with the sector to address key challenges faced by markets in the capital - one of which is an aging workforce, another of which is the profile and offer of publicly run street markets, and growing demand for traders in privately operated markets Markets are the original business incubators. As accessible open workspaces they offer unique, low-risk opportunities to test business ideas and learn new skills. For many individuals they provide the initial step into employment, and open up routes to different types of work. Tomorrow's Market aims to support new businesses and traders within the sector, to enable on-the-job learning, and networking. It will do this by recruiting traders, matching them with host markets, and providing a cohesive programme of business support, mentoring, and networking. The project will work with market traders and support them to scale up their business. The project is underpinned by a principle to help businesses overcome barriers by providing targeted business support, advice, business development planning and mentoring which will enable traders to develop and expand their businesses and grow and thrive. This will be a two year programme, contract commencing January 2020. The aims of the programme will: 1. Recruit and Support: * Support a new generation of start-up businesses/traders through targeted business support and mentoring 2. Match-make and Network: * Seek innovators in the public markets sector to host traders. * Create a support network from within existing markets sector groups for both Tomorrow's Market traders and host markets. 3.
