## Summary

The East Sussex County Council has awarded a contract for the Sussex Visitor Story project through a limited procurement method, focusing on design consultancy services to raise the profile of Sussex as a visitor destination. The contract has a start date of June 1, 2023, and an end date of September 30, 2023. The tender period ended on March 7, 2023. East Sussex County Council acted as the buyer in this process.

This awarded tender presents a business opportunity for companies offering design consultancy services and those interested in promoting tourism. Small and medium-sized enterprises are deemed suitable for this project. Businesses located in the South East of England may find this contract particularly relevant due to the delivery address requirements and the strategic nature of the project for the local authorities involved.

## Notice

This contract supports delivery of the action plan for the Sussex Visitor Economy Initiative, a strategic partnership between BHCC, ESCC and WSCC. Currently there are no other contracts that are being held by ESCC, but other contracts supporting the work of the partnership are held by the two other local authorities. The ambition of the SVEI is to initiate a series of large-scale pieces of work to raise the profile of Sussex as a national and international visitor destination. A failure of this contract would impact delivery of future work agreed within the action plan and delay milestones delivery.
