## Notice

The borough has excellent access to the national motorway network with five junctions feeding in to the M5 and M6 motorways serving the South West, South East and North West regions of the UK. As Sandwell Council embarks on an exciting period of transformation, inward investment and expansion a superb opportunity to secure funding from Towns Fund in three of our six towns has arisen.

Rowley Regis, Smethwick and West Bromwich submitted their Town Investment Plans in October 2020 and PS67.5m of investment has been conditionally offered by Government. The projects now need to be developed to Full Business Cases. This opportunity is for a consultancy to work alongside the council and partners to develop the Full Business Cases and Summary Document submissions for 6 of the 17 projects contained within the Town Investment Plans, and support as outlined below.
