Events Consultant

In June 2021, Truro was awarded £23.6 million from the Government's £3.6 billion Towns Fund to bring a step-change in how we live, work and enjoy Truro. This money will help to future proof Truro whilst celebrating its unique character. A Truro Town Deal Board was created to oversee the development of a Town Improvement Plan (see About Truro Town Fund | Truro Town Deal and Truro-Town-Investment-Plan_010221.pdf (trurotownfund.com)) which details the projects that would be delivered as part of the Town Deal. The overall vision of the Truro Town Deal is that "By 2030, Truro will be a 'Connected River City' worthy of being Cornwall's capital and fulfilling its potential as a modern economic, social, environmental and cultural capital for Truro residents and the wider Cornwall community". One of the projects supported by the Truro Town Deal is the reimagining of Lemon Quay which is a large public space in the centre of Truro that is owned by Cornwall Council but managed under licence by Truro City Council. Whilst the Town Improvement Plan envisaged the construction of a permanent covered area on Lemon Quay this has not been possible to deliver but the works relating to new furniture and landscaping that will create green space at the heart of the city adding to Truro's appeal as a vibrant city and complementing the retail offer is going ahead and will be complete by the end of December 2025. The redevelopment of Lemon Quay is being led by Cornwall Council and whilst the majority of the scheme relates to capital works to improve the public realm areas of Lemon Quay (e.g. investment in improved landscaping, seats, trees, planters, ducts for power cables to reduce trip hazards and a Changing Places facility in the existing toilets) it also includes funding to encourage the increased use of Lemon Quay especially outside the core summer holiday season. This aspect of the project is being led by Truro City Council. In order to apply please submit your proposal to [email protected] by 1200 noon on the closing date.

CEFAS24-133 RFQ for technical advisory services on risk assessment

The Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) is funded through UK official development assistance (ODA) as part of the UKs Blue Planet Fund. It aims to strengthen marine science expertise, develop science-based policy and management tools, and create educational resources for coastal communities under three main objectives described in terms of marine pollution, sustainable seafood, and marine biodiversity. It supports activities in partnership with country governments directed towards capacity building for marine science in local institutions, organisations and communities. Shipping-related Pollution: Whilst the number of shipping-related pollution incidents has gradually decreased with improvements to ship safety and training over recent decades, the risk of shipping incidents remains. This is due to the rapid expansion of international trade, where there is still the potential for occasional large high-profile incidents to occur through collision and/or grounding, as well as emerging activities such as oil exploration activities and development of petroleum refinery. Spills can include pollutants such as hydrocarbons, plastics, and hazardous and noxious substances. Recent high-profile events such as the MV Wakashio grounding on the outer reef of Mauritius, spilling ~820 tonnes of low sulphur fuel oil into the surrounding environment and the X-press Pearl which caught fire and spilled oil and plastic pellets along the coast of Sri Lanka, demonstrate first-hand the devastating impacts of such incidents. Such incidents can threaten marine biodiversity, world heritage sites and the livelihoods of coastal communities. There is a need to understand the risk posed by spills to inform proactive preparedness for such spills. Compared with other parts the of the world, the capacity of countries in the Indian Ocean region to respond to maritime disasters still remains a challenge. Government agencies are seeking to address this and have taken steps towards reinforcing pollution response capability. Risk Assessments are a useful tool to help understand the relative risks and to support environmental management decision making, and can be used to inform management decisions, based on the assessed risk to ecological and economic marine resources. Requirement: Work Package 1: Risk Assessment Report for Sri Lanka This report will include an assessment of risk of maritime spills and risk to aquatic resources (e.g. commercial, habitats and species). The Assessment will evaluate data and information from the period 2018 to present.
