Description
The Warwickshire Recovery Investment Fund (WRIF) specifically addresses a gap that has been identified in the market for access to finance. The aim is to distribute £140 million over the next five years, offering loans and other financial investments to existing and new businesses to help their long-term recovery and growth.
The WRIF will comprise of three pillars of support:
• Business Investment Growth - Debt finance to growing medium and larger businesses with sound prospects (likely to be in the region of £90 million).
• Local Communities and Enterprise - Smaller loans in order to support small businesses, including start-ups and social enterprises (likely to be in the region of £10 million).
• Property and Infrastructure - Investment in commercial sites and premises to encourage businesses to invest in Warwickshire and create jobs (likely to be in the region of £40 million).
This ITT relates to the requirement for the Property and Infrastructure Pillar. Warwickshire County Council ('the Council') is seeking an External Fund Advisor to manage the Property and Infrastructure Pillar.
The Property & Infrastructure Pillar is intended as a flexible investment scheme that can be deployed by the Council to help developers purchase and/or for the development of new employment land or commercial space to support the growth of Warwickshire's economy. Its focus is on creating or enhancing new or existing development that will help provide the land and premises needed to drive the future growth of our economy and will therefore be linked to supporting growth in the Council's key priority sectors.
The Fund Advisor will be responsible for the the promotion, marketing and day to day administration of the activities of the Fund. It will originate and compile investment opportunities against the agreed Investment Strategy. It will undertake the necessary due diligence prior to making recommendations that support WCC's approval process prior to each investment being made. It will then be responsible for the ongoing management of this investment.
