In accordance with CSO 8.01 and 8.02, the Head
of Programme Management is requested to approve under their
delegated authority, the appointment of Inner Circle Consulting to
undertake consultancy and coordination works aligned to the
delivery of Reopening the High Street Safely and Welcome Back Fund
projects.
Inner Circle Consulting will deliver an 8-week programme of support
and coordination that will deliver a coordinated multi-disciplinary
approach that takes full account of all the considerations needed
from each specialist team (i.e., highways; parking; licensing &
enforcement; economic development; counterterrorism; regeneration;
etc.) and responds proportionately in terms of time and cost.
This will enable the rapid approval and roll-out of pavement
licences & tackle some of the more complex proposals for
supporting outdoor eating and drinking, providing both a responsive
outdoor offer for businesses as well as more area-based
place-making approaches that will provide an enhanced experience
for customers.
Inner Circle Consulting will deliver a documented process map to be
used by officers for future use in the delivery of reopening
projects involving cross service activities.
The total cost of the works is £9,884.
