Decision details

For the Assistant Director of Regeneration and Economic Development to agree to award a contract to South West Business Crime Centre to complete a review of the Tottenham Business Safe BCRP (Business Crime Reduction Partnership).
This will include 30 Hours of offline at £50 per hour for interviews, a business survey, researching model options and sponsorship opportunities.
This decision is in line with Contract Standing Order 8.03. The total project cost is £1,500 and will come from Core Funding.

The Business Crime Reduction Partnership in its current form comes to an end at the end of the 2024/25 financial year therefore viable legacy options need to be explored.
The Council cannot legally take over the ownership and delivery of the BCRP and therefore needs to find alternative legacy options for the continued delivery of the programme.
The Council needs to understand whether participating businesses are interested in the BCRP continuing, so a survey of businesses and their interest needs to be explored.
The Council needs to explore whether key partners and businesses including local property developers would be interested in subscribing or sponsoring the BCRP to fund its long-term operations in the area.

Do Nothing – this is not an option, as the Council needs to explore the alternative options for the continued delivery of the programme.
Tender to a wider audience - This option would not work within the timeframe required for a decision on the project and its legacy to be discussed and decided by senior officers. Equally, the selected supplier has the relevant experience in the field to assist with the Council’s decision-making process.
