    The University of Warwick Science Park (UWSP) in partnership with Warwickshire County Council (WCC) is looking to appoint a pool of growth specialist mentors, coaches and advisers for the provision of a pool of "Business Ready Growth Specialists" (BRGS) under a framework agreement. The University of Warwick Science Park (UWSP) has delivered the Business Ready programme to small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) based in Coventry and Warwickshire since 2016. See www.business-ready.co.uk for further information. The Business Ready Phase 2 Extension Programme (BR2Ext) is currently a European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) supported initiative and is an extension of an earlier successful programme. It is anticipated to be able to continue the Business Ready SME support programme beyond the current funding allocation, but that will be dependent upon securing additional funding support from other sources, for example the UK Shared Prosperity Fund or similar.
