## Summary

The London Borough of Waltham Forest is conducting an open procurement process titled "Waltham Forest x Fashion District - Business Support & Networking," aimed at providing tailored business support to Fashion and Textile businesses. The tender period ended on 18 March 2020, and the awarded contract was published on 11 June 2020, with a value of £24,450, covering a contract duration from 11 June 2020 to 31 December 2020. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to consolidate and grow business networks through a series of events, specifically targeting the fashion and textile industry in the borough of Waltham Forest, located in London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the consultancy and support services sector, particularly those specializing in business development, diagnostics, and networking facilitation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to participate, as the contract accommodates their involvement in providing bespoke support to the local fashion industry. By engaging with this project, businesses can enhance their visibility and establish valuable collaborations, potentially leading to further funding opportunities for expanded initiatives within the Fashion District activities.

## Notice

Waltham Forest is looking to appoint a suitably qualified consultancy or sole trader to undertake a pilot of business support, alongside network consolidation and growth via three business focused events, to Fashion & Textile businesses in the borough. The commission will include a tailored programme of support including individual business diagnostics, with subsequent follow up sessions to problem solve and action plan. The intention is that all participating businesses (and those that are interested but do not fully engage) attend two networking and discussion/Q&A events with the intention of participating in the local network. Should the pilot prove successful, there may be an opportunity to seek further funding to extend the programme, with greater integration into the wider Fashion District activities and the surrounding boroughs.
