Description
The Suffolk Economic Strategy is a roadmap for delivering long-term sustainable growth across the county, leveraging Suffolk's strengths in clean energy, agri-food & drink, and ports and logistics. Overseen by the Suffolk business board, it is a sector and cluster focused strategy designed to strengthen Suffolk's existing economic strengths while enabling the development and embedding of new, interconnected clusters.
The strategy emphasises economic well-being, productive, inclusive and clean growth (EPIC) as guiding principles, with technology convergence serving as a critical enabler to develop interconnected clusters.
This tender seeks to advance the strategies implementation and invites proposals for a comprehensive cluster analysis and feasibility study to identify, prioritise, and provide actionable recommendations for sectoral cluster development and growth in Suffolk. This work will deliver actionable insights on strengthening existing clusters, identifying emerging opportunities, and embedding a cluster-based approach as a cornerstone of Suffolk's economic future.
Following this piece of work there could be a further piece commissioned for an additional £80,000; if it is to proceed, we would ask for a short proposal nearer the time.
