Summary of the contracting process

Aston University is leading a public procurement process titled "Business Mentors for the Aston Programme for Small Business Growth" within the business development consultancy services sector. The procurement was initiated on 16th February 2017, and the contract, with a value of £152,100, is expected to commence on 1st March 2017 and run until 30th June 2019. The tender was conducted through an open procedure, and it is noteworthy that it required the involvement of business mentors to support local small businesses in the West Midlands, specifically Birmingham, in their growth initiatives.

This opportunity presents significant potential for consultancy firms that specialise in business development and mentoring services. With the ongoing demand for tailored support in small business growth, firms that can provide one-to-one mentoring and participate in workshops will be particularly well-positioned to compete. The programme is designed not only for large consultancy companies but also welcomes small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can deliver effective mentoring to foster local business success in the region.
