TENDER OPPORTUNITY: Quotations are invited for the provision of consultancy services to undertake a refresh of the Implementation Plans for the MIRA Technology Park Enterprise Zone and Loughborough and Leicester Science and Innovation Enterprise Zone.
THIS TENDER OPPORTUNITY IS NOW CLOSED
Enterprise Zones were established in 2012 and are at the heart of the Government’s long-term economic plan for supporting businesses to grow.
The LLEP successfully bid for two Enterprise Zones, MIRA Technology Park Enterprise Zone in 2012 and the multi-site Loughborough and Leicester Science and Innovation Enterprise Zone which started in 2017.
Further details on our Enterprise Zones can be found on our website: www.llep.org.uk/enterprise-zones
The Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership Limited (LLEP), working with Leicester City Council, wish to appoint consultants to lead and co-ordinate the update and refresh of the Government required Implementation Plans for the MIRA Technology Park Enterprise Zone and Loughborough and Leicester Science and Innovation Enterprise Zone.
One of the benefits of EZ’s is that all business rates growth generated within the Zones during their 25-year lifespan is retained locally, by the local enterprise partnership and local authorities, to reinvest in local economic growth.
However, to maintain the development progress of the EZ sites to ensure the business rates generation potential is achieved, and to comply with Government requirements, each site is required to have a series of plans. The role of the LLEP is to coordinate and support the delivery of these plans.
The plans will capture a number of streams of work to be supported by the Enterprise Zone partners, including an investment plan, business development plan, marketing plan, skills plan and infrastructure plan, which will enable the successful implementation of the EZ programme.
Due to the multi-site nature of the Loughborough and Leicester Enterprise Zone there will be 3 separate Plans which underpin the overarching Plan for the Zone.
The development of the plans will require liaison with the involved stakeholders for each Enterprise Zone site and the potential need to provide options to resolve any competing aims to ensure that the best outcomes can be realised for the sites.
