This initiative falls within the research and consultancy services industry, aimed at supporting local high street businesses during the ongoing recovery from lockdown. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 12 October 2020. The contract is valued at £34,950 and is set to commence on 31 October 2020, lasting until 31 March 2021. The project will primarily focus on supporting Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in England. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in research consultancy and action planning. Enterprises with experience in conducting assessments and developing strategies for SMEs are particularly well-suited to compete. With a focus on revitalising high street commerce, eligible contractors can play a vital role in helping local businesses regain customer engagement and achieve long-term sustainability following the pandemic. ## Notice Salford City Council is receiving up to PS230,071 of funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) as part of the Reopening High Streets Safely Fund (RHSS) project up to the end of March 2021. The Council requires suitably qualified and experienced research consultants to assist in the creation and development of an action plan to support the reopening and long-term sustainability of local high street businesses following the lockdown. This will include the collection of baseline data which will be used to support and underpin any recommendations produced and provide a means of tracking the success of any proposed interventions. A key focus of the action plan, in line with the requirements of the Reopening High Streets Safely Funding, should be on supporting Small & Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), that operate alongside public spaces and 'have customers', to reopen, welcome back customers safely, and continue to trade in the longer term.
