## Summary

The East Suffolk Council has successfully awarded a contract for the "East Suffolk Town Guides" project as part of the Welcome Back Fund, which aims to enhance the attractiveness of high streets post-pandemic. This initiative, which falls under the publishing services category, is located in East Suffolk, UK. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with the contract period set from 24 September 2021 to 31 March 2022. The award notice was published on 26 October 2021, following the completion of the tender period that ended on 10 September 2021. The total value of the contract is £40,000.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those engaged in publishing, tour guidance, and local tourism promotion. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete for similar future tenders. By participating in such projects, businesses can contribute to local economic recovery while expanding their outreach and customer bases in the tourism sector.

## Notice

East Suffolk Council have been awarded funding through the Welcome Back Fund (which is European Regional Development Fund) to support the safe return to high streets and help build back better from the pandemic. This funding builds on the Reopening High Streets Safely Fund announced in May 2020 and forms part of the wider support government is providing to communities and businesses. As part of a wider programme of building back better projects that East Suffolk Council will be running between July 2021 and March 2022, we are looking to procure guides for a number of towns in East Suffolk. The aim of the guides is to promote the towns, their history, heritage, key attractions and general offer to visitors. These guides will become part of a set which are already available around the district within a number of Visitor Information Points and on The Suffolk Coast Ltd website.
