Notice Title
Invitation to Tender Konnect Communities Business Konnector (Version 4)
Notice Description
The Business Konnector project involves the design and delivery of a social recruitment agency, which is a service not currently provided by Konnect Communities CIC. The development of a social recruitment agency is a key part of the progression of Konnect Communities CIC into the world of business support, which is an existing ad hoc service provided by Konnect Communities CIC but is not formalised and does not currently provide sustainable income generation. The legacy of the Business Konnector project will be a social recruitment agency and a paid-for service that follows the loss of European funding in Cornwall. The aim of this is to enhance the viability of Konnect Communities CIC beyond this loss of funding, as well as to support Konnect Communities CIC to continue as an organisation that performs as the 'glue that holds other provision together'. This ethos is central to Konnect Communities' work as we aspire to ensure that both employers and employees are more fit for the purpose of creating, securing, and sustaining opportunities to strengthen communities, and to grow business to support this. We will do this by offering new and existing businesses in the CLLD eligible Lower Super Output Areas (LSOA's) the opportunity to receive specialist support to: (1) remove barriers to business growth and finance (2) to develop viable employment opportunities and (3) to secure a high-quality work force.
