Notice Title

Provision of SME Digital Adoption

Notice Description

The UK economy and particularly Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. To support these businesses to realise their potential and help boost the UK's productivity the Chancellor of the Exchequer would like to develop an SME digital adoption business support programme that includes an online support hub and voucher scheme to subsidise software costs. This should help SMEs adopt new productivity-enhancing software by addressing barriers to identifying, buying and implementing relevant solutions. The purpose of this exercise is to procure specialist external advisory support to assist with the design of the software voucher scheme and developing requirements of a long-term delivery partner for the overall programme.
