Anglesey is a peripheral area struggling economically after a range of recent structural economic blows – from e.g. the closure of the Wylfa Nuclear Power Station, the former Anglesey Aluminium Plant and a recent 700+ job food processor, 2Sisters, to name but a few. There are diverse range of programmes and projects aimed at bringing about economic restructuring – the following providing a flavour of recent such interventions (many still on-going):

- UK Government’s Community Renewal Fund (CRF) initiative – a £3 million fund secured and managed by the Team for investment in skills, in local business, in communities and places and in supporting people into employment
- Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF) – a £16.1 million of funding for further local investment in the above as well as in improving numeracy – likewise involving all of the above interventions and activities as CRF
- Levelling Up Funding – securing and delivering upon £22.5 million of capital investment to transform key community, culture and heritage assets within Holyhead Town centre and to bring vacant properties back into use
- As ‘accountable body’ for the development of Anglesey Freeport , in collaboration with Stena and other key strategic partners – providing access to up to £25 million ‘seed capital’ funding to address infrastructure gaps in Freeport locations and create the right physical conditions to encourage private sector investment
- A sites and premises programme which, over the last 10 years, has seen some £20 million of European and Welsh Government Enterprise Zone capital funding invested in the construction of approx. 8,000m2 of industrial and commercial floorspace at various locations on the island. A Programme set to continue, initially with the planned redevelopment of a 3.5 hectare former industrial-chemicals brownfield site, new business units in the town of Amlwch and the wholesale refurbishment of the former Shell Marine Terminal Building at Porth Amlwch.
- Bidding and preparation of a range of town centre regeneration projects utilising, for example, Welsh Government Transforming Towns funding.
- Numerous socio-economic studies and analysis to support the work of the Council, Business Case formulation to support funding bids and monitoring and evaluation work to meet the requirements of various funders.

It is anticipated that the work of the successful tenderer will focus upon delivery and implementation of capital projects stemming from the above – principally those related to e.g. Freeport, UK Government Regeneration Programmes, Town Centre Regeneration and Sites and Premises Programme capital spends - although this is not to say there may be other instances and other initiatives where the skills and capacity outlined below are needed to support other current and future initiatives.
