Description

This procurement seeks to establish two, not for profit, Community Supermarkets, one (1) in Canvey Island, Castle Point (Lot 1) and one (1) in Greenstead, Colchester (Lot 2). \r
\r
Priority areas for this procurement are based on the Essex County Council, Levelling-Up geographies, and Working Families priority areas, overlayed with the 2019 Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD). \r
\r
It is important that any Community Supermarket is established with the support of local, public, voluntary and community sector partners as well as local-residents and service users.\r
\r
The Community Supermarket model provides support for individuals who have experienced financial crisis, and who have been supported by Food Banks to regain some financial control. In addition, the model supports individuals and families who fluctuate above and below the line of financial security by providing a consistent point of support to avoid them falling into financial crisis. \r
\r
Once established, the programmes will form a local community asset with the funding from Essex County Council made available to seed fund the development and start up costs.\r
