What activity in these two areas of work has in common is that success on the part of the businesses supportedwill increase turnover. This in turn will tend to improve business prospects and lead to beneficial effectsgenerally in the local economy.
These two areas of work are however the subject of two separate initiatives run by Tower Hamlets Council:respectively the "Retail Marketing" Initiative and the "Supply Tower Hamlets" initiative.

LOT 3 - Provision of Tendering Support (the Supply Tower Hamlets initiative)
