## Summary

Lincolnshire County Council has completed a direct award contracting process for the project titled "GLLEP AG Zone," aimed at developing an evidence base to support the Agricultural Growth Zone (AG Zone). This initiative focuses on fostering research, innovation, and creating an ecosystem rather than just infrastructure. The project falls under the industry category of Business and management consultancy and related services, valued at £50,000. The contract begins on 1st August 2024 and ends on 31st March 2025. It is assigned to Collison and Associates Limited, based in Norfolk, and locations affected are primarily within England, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those experienced in economic assessment and strategic planning. SME and VCSE organisations would find this contract particularly appealing, as it emphasizes innovation in the agri-tech sector. Businesses with strong capabilities in working collaboratively with local councils and enterprise partnerships, such as the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership (GLLEP) and West Lindsey District Council (WLDC), will be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders.

## Notice

An evidence base is required to feed into the wider economic needs assessment for the area in order to demonstrate the potential growth for the agri-tech sector within the proposed area to support future planning related to the Agricultural Growth Zone (AG Zone) confirmed by the Council. The AG Zone is quite a specialist concept, it is highly focused on developing research and innovation, and providing the ecosystem for this to happen rather than just providing concentrations of infrastructure. 1The Consultant, in providing this evidence base, shall support the phasing outlined above and the development of the concept (for clarity the phasing activity sits outside of this Agreement scope). The Consultant is expected to work closely with the steering group as notified by the Council comprising of members from Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership (GLLEP) and West Lindsey District Council (WLDC).
