Consultancy – The Future of Liverpool Markets

Tender description

<p>Liverpool markets have a glorious history and as such have acquired a folklore in the City that harks back to a golden and different age. Over the last twenty years shopping habits have changed, and this coupled with the devastating impact of Covid on retail and its potential long-term ramifications, means it is timely to look at a new model and future for our markets. Liverpool&rsquo;s current market offer is eclectic, from farmers markets to Great Homer Street (Greatie), from occasional event style destination markets to St Johns. The offer needs consolidating to create a compelling and practical vision that is worthy of a Global City and is more than the sum of its parts. Post Covid there is the opportunity to be brave, considered and ambitious to support a brilliant market offer in the city, that plays to the heritage but is absolutely about the future. We are looking for an experienced creative and forward-looking consultant who can assess our current offer across all markets, which consists of:- &bull; St. Johns Market &bull; Garston &bull; Great Homer Street &bull; Liverpool Food Hub &bull; Monument Place &bull; Tuebrook Car Boot and Retail Market &bull; Specialist Markets Events &bull; Research similar international models, the learning of which can be brought to bear on our ambition &bull; Create a new ambitious model for markets with clear achievable recommendations for individual sites and genres &bull; Develop a workable, practical and achievable plan for sites that may no longer be viable that fits the overall model &bull; Develop a costed action plan to support investment decisions &bull; Develop a public consultation to ensure we hear directly from our citizens and their ideas and aspirations are taken into account &bull; Support a citizens panel who will guide the process made up of stakeholders and experts &bull; Ensure the model and approach fits with our inclusive City Plan</p> Keywords: market, consultancy
