Following the launch of Street Tag as part of
the Clacton 150 Heritage Trail, the Essex Local Delivery Pilot
(ELDP) are keen to scale and replicate an activity project on a
smaller scale for Harwich.
Street Tag and Beat the Street both offer outdoor activity based
games encouraging participants to get active outside and earn
rewards.
In the Back to Business Report 19/2/20 it states that officers will
continue to work towards utilising the funds secured from the ELDP
project to improve inactivity in our communities.
A letter of concurrence was signed by the portfolio holder Cllr
Alex Porter dated18/12/20 to allow requests for quotations to go to
the only two providers of these activities. The situation remains
the same to date.
An officer decision was published on 19/4/21 to request quotations
for a Street Gamification project in Harwich.
After undertaking evaluation of the Requests
for Quotations, the contract is to be awarded to Beat the Street
for the activity project in Harwich.
The anticipated start date for the project will be
September/October subject to the required Governance being
completed beforehand.
The cost of the project which will run for 4 weeks is £29,614
and is fully funded by ELDP.
