Description

The Council requires a supplier for the provision of creating a Family Event in Acocks Green BID area through the Welcome Back Fund.

Birmingham has been granted funding under the ERDF Welcome Back Fund to support the safe reopening of high streets and other commercial areas. The money will allow Birmingham to put in place additional measures to establish a safe trading environment for businesses and customers, particularly in high streets, through measures that extend to the end of March 2022.

A proportion of this funding is to develop events across the city in a covid safe manner which will drive footfall back to high streets and shopping areas which have been impacted through the covid pandemic.
