This initiative aimed to support the reopening and long-term sustainability of local high street businesses after the lockdown by engaging qualified research consultants. The contract period runs from 1st January 2021 to 31st March 2021, with an awarded contract value of £54,889. The procurement, classified under research and development services, emphasised collecting baseline data to monitor the health of town centres, and the tender period ended on 11th December 2020. This contract presents significant opportunities for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), particularly those with expertise in consulting and research services relevant to urban development and economic recovery. Businesses that specialise in data collection, market analysis, or have a background in supporting local economies would be well-positioned to compete for similar opportunities within public procurement in the future. The focus on SMEs reflects a growing trend towards fostering local business engagement in public sector contracts. ## Notice The Council requires suitably qualified and experienced research consultants to assist in the creation, development and production of an action plan to support the reopening and long-term sustainability of local high street businesses following the lockdown. This will include the collection of baseline data which will be used to support and underpin any recommendations produced and provide a means of tracking the success of any proposed interventions. A key focus of the action plan, in line with the requirements of the Reopening High Streets Safely Funding, should be on supporting Small & Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), that operate alongside public spaces and 'have customers', to reopen, welcome back customers safely, and continue to trade in the longer term. As part of the data collection exercise , we also require the provision of footfall counters in our three town centres. This will help monitor the health and vibrancy of the retail centres. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6a189499-132c-4387-998e-5b6055208cbd | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not applicable | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Jan 2021 | | Submission deadline | 11 Dec 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 6 Jan 2021 | | Contract period | 7 Jan 2021 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £54,889 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTH TYNESIDE COUNCIL | | Locality | NORTH TYNESIDE | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE27 0BY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC43 Tyneside | | Local authority | North Tyneside | | Electoral ward | Shiremoor | | Westminster constituency | Cramlington and Killingworth | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ELEPHANTWIFI/PROXIMITY FUTURES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 6 Jan 2021 at 10:56 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6a189499-132c-4387-998e-5b6055208cbd - 26 Nov 2020 at 14:19 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0cbfdb1f-c475-4bc0-ad7e-8d85d6a857e2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6a189499-132c-4387-998e-5b6055208cbd 6th January 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0cbfdb1f-c475-4bc0-ad7e-8d85d6a857e2 26th November 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=f36e760d-232f-eb11-8105-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.northtyneside.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
