This initiative falls under the business and management consultancy sector, with an end date for submissions set for 18 August 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 27 August 2021 and run until 31 December 2021, with a budget of £30,000. The procurement process is classified as a tender, focusing on addressing local employment challenges exacerbated by high unemployment rates in Bolton, particularly due to the decline in retail and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in consultancy related to economic development, skills strategy, and employment policy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-placed to compete for this contract, as the Council aims to enhance local workforce skills and connect residents to employment prospects. Engaging in this project could help businesses expand their portfolio and impact positively on the local economy by supporting the Council's vision for sustainable growth and job creation in Bolton. ## Notice The Borough Council of Bolton's (the "Council") Economic Strategy 2016-2030 sees the Bolton of the future as vibrant, strong, productive, resilient, and hard working. Bolton is already the Manchester city region's second largest employment centre. Private investment in Bolton is forecast to continue, and it is expected to generate at least a further PS1 billion of investment and 11,000 additional jobs in Bolton over the period from now to 2030, with GVA exceeding PS6bn by 2030. However, unemployment levels are currently high mainly due to the recent decline in high street retail, leisure sector and the evening economy. This has been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The June claimant count shows that 7.9% of the population in Bolton is currently claiming Job seekers allowance which is higher than Greater Manchester (7.1%), the North West (6.1%) and UK (5,6%). There is a need to connect our residents to opportunities for employment, in order to address poverty, inequality and deprivation - a foothold on the job ladder, or developing skills leading to better paid work. The Council is working on a Skills Strategy that will assist in improving skills and knowledge of our residents and therefore secure the workforce required by employers in Bolton. The purpose of this brief is to provide the evidence base for the employment land policies and proposals for Bolton.
