To re-energise our centres we will be organising local high street events, community created local artwork, improved street furniture to make the areas more welcoming and we will be running a major advertising and social media campaign from November 2021- March 2022 encouraging 'Thurrock to shop local'. An important element of this work is to help support independent SME Businesses who are operating in our local high streets, many of whom have struggled to manage during COVID. We are looking to appoint an organisation that has expertise in this area and can support the objectives outlined below.

The council want to expand this basic information and develop a more detailed contact database for all independent SME businesses on Thurrock High Streets, with greater insight supported through a business needs analysis. The supplier will be expected to engage with all independent retail businesses within the selected high street areas and identify the key contact, email and telephone of key contact, age of business, relevant social media links and other data useful in the description of their business (supplier to identify). The database will allow Thurrock Council with a route for ongoing communication and engagement and underpin the business support offered via the Welcome Back Fund. Final database information will be agreed in conjunction with the Welcome Back project manager and the Thurrock council Comms team. A draft web/social media analysis, along with any supplementary questions required by the Thurrock Council economic development team will be provided to the successful supplier. This will then be refined and agreed between the Welcome Back project manager and the supplier The Welcome Back Fund is funded by th...
