Description
C-Care is cross-Channel Interreg project which aims to respond to some of the socio-economic
challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. C-Care is led by Kent County Council and
involves 3 other English and 3 French partner organisations who are jointly implementing the
project. C-Care will provide support to businesses and individuals at risk of exclusion in the
France-Channel England area to aid economic recovery.
As part of this project, the Growth & Communities Division within GET is leading on a technology
resilience voucher pilot scheme to provide support to Kent businesses. The scheme was launched
in November 2021 when Kent SMEs could start to apply for vouchers. A framework of suppliers
was procured during the summer of 2021 which resulted in seven suppliers being selected and
approved to provide services to Kent businesses under the voucher scheme. A total number of
385 applications were received between November 2021 and June 2022 and 320 were approved.
However, 74 (23.12%) of these which have been withdrawn - the main reason being given by
SMEs was a lack of a suitable supplier on the framework to deliver the service they wanted. Not
every lot was filled by suppliers and only 4 of the 7 suppliers have actually been selected by
beneficiary SMEs to complete a voucher project. Some current suppliers have also indicated that
they are very near to reaching full capacity to deliver voucher projects.
