Notice Title

GLIDE Business Support Programme

Notice Description

Buckinghamshire New University is launching GLIDE, a new initiative which aims to generate increased levels of entrepreneurship within the region by consolidating the existing knowledge and expertise and streamlining it to better cater to the needs of individuals wishing to start their own business. By doing so, GLIDE seeks to encourage innovation in the wake of COVID-19 and ultimately invigorate economic development and productivity growth within the region. GLIDE is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) Programme which is designed to create jobs and support innovation, businesses, and local community regeneration. The GLIDE programme, and subsequently this tender, is split into two lots. Suppliers can submit proposals for both or either lot. Lot 1 - Creative Entrepreneurs Bootcamps A series of workshops covering a range of topics aimed at supporting individuals who have a business idea relevant to the creative industries and providing them with the tools, knowledge and encouragement needed to start their own business. The successful supplier will be responsible for organising, managing and running the two virtual Bootcamps, with the first held in July 2021 and the second held in September 2021. Lot 2 - Business Support The second stage of the GLIDE programme seeks to support individuals further along in their entrepreneurial journey by providing direct support to a further 60 registered businesses. The successful supplier will be responsible for organising, managing and running the workshops, which we anticipate taking place in late 2021 or early 2022. Suppliers must be familiar with and comply with ERDF requirements. Suppliers who would like to take part in this tender process are invited to 'Express Interest' here https://in-tendhost.co.uk/bucksnewuni/aspx/ The documents are anticipated to be published by Wednesday 26th May 2021.
