Requirement
The Department for Levelling Up Housing and Communities requires a potential Supplier to create and manage the Towns Delivery Body, an arm of the High Streets and Towns Taskforce. The Contract will be for a period of five years. The Towns Delivery Body will deliver hands on support to the towns within the Long-Term Plan for Towns programme, boost capacity and skills amongst members of the Towns Boards and selected community groups to support the implementation of the interventions as outlined n the Long-Term Plans that Boards are developing over the summer. Those Long-Term
Plan's will be composed of a ten-year vision document and three year investment plan.
Background
On 30 September 2023, the Government announced The Long-Term Plan for Town (LTPFT) Programme for 55 towns. On 6 March, the Government announced an expansion to this programme, with 20 additional towns. Each town will receive up to £20 million of 'endowment style' funding and support. The purpose of this programme is to regenerate local towns across the United Kingdom over the next decade, as well develop local capacity and capability.
Each town will have a towns board, the chair of which, will be selected by the Local Authority. The Chair will then work with the Local Authority to determine the makeup of the board, which should be a cross section of the local community, including community leaders, employers, local authorities, and the local MP. This board will then develop a shared vision for the town and oversee the funding together, based on community engagement.
