## Summary

Luton Council is currently conducting a tender process titled "BT1449 - Local business net zero support." This initiative falls within the services category pertaining to business and management consultancy and related services. The procurement is aimed at supporting local businesses in Luton that have been adversely affected by the Covid-19 Pandemic. The tender period is set to close on 20th September 2021, with the contract expected to commence on 1st October 2021 and run until 31st January 2022, with possible extensions until 31st March 2022. The total funding available for this initiative is £36,000, financed by the Additional Restrictions Grant allocated by the Government.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can provide business support services, particularly to those focusing on sustainability and green initiatives. Businesses with expertise in mentoring, consultancy, and economic recovery strategies would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, contributing to the local economy while also adapting to the increasing demand for environmentally focused practices.

## Notice

In response to the national restrictions as a result of the Covid-19 Pandemic, Luton Council has been allocated Additional Restrictions Grant (ARG) funding by the Government to support local economies and businesses which have been adversely affected. The Pandemic has demonstrated the importance of businesses being able to adapt and be resilient. As part of the economic recovery, we are seeking to put in place a raft of business support activities to help businesses with a base in Luton recover and grow. Additionally we have incentives for green sector start-ups or micro business expansion via a grant scheme with a total value of PS50,000. This must be complemented by provision of mentoring support from one of Luton's Anchor businesses which the council will help to facilitate. The funding is to be spent between 1 October 2021 and 31 January 2022 with two possible extensions at the discretion of the Council up until 31 March 2022.
