## Summary

The Kent County Council has awarded a contract for the SC22223 - C-Care Technology Resilience Voucher Scheme. The project aims to provide support to businesses and individuals affected by the Covid-19 pandemic in the France-Channel England area. The contract has a value of £250,000 and was awarded to five suppliers. The contract period is from 16th September 2022 to 17th March 2023.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in IT services, consulting, software development, internet services, and support to participate in providing services under the technology resilience voucher scheme. The procurement process is now complete, and successful suppliers have a chance to contribute to aiding economic recovery in the Kent area. Businesses that can offer innovative solutions and quality services in the specified industry category are well-suited to compete in this contract opportunity.

## Notice

C-Care is cross-Channel Interreg project which aims to respond to some of the socio-economic challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. C-Care is led by Kent County Council and involves 3 other 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 Growth & Communities Division within GET is leading on a technology resilience voucher pilot scheme to provide support to Kent businesses. The scheme was launched in November 2021 when Kent SMEs could start to apply for vouchers. A framework of suppliers was procured during the summer of 2021 which resulted in seven suppliers being selected and approved to provide services to Kent businesses under the voucher scheme. A total number of 385 applications were received between November 2021 and June 2022 and 320 were approved. However, 74 (23.12%) of these which have been withdrawn - the main reason being given by SMEs was a lack of a suitable supplier on the framework to deliver the service they wanted. Not every lot was filled by suppliers and only 4 of the 7 suppliers have actually been selected by beneficiary SMEs to complete a voucher project. Some current suppliers have also indicated that they are very near to reaching full capacity to deliver voucher projects.
