Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council is currently inviting applications for inclusion in a preferred list of providers to deliver mentoring services through the "Innovation Grant Mentoring Project." This open procurement process falls under the services category and is aimed at supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the East of England. The deadline for submissions is 5 pm on Wednesday, 31st March 2021. Interested parties can expect a fixed fee of £100 per hour for the mentoring services, although there is no guarantee of contract placement even if selected. The tender period is open and follows an open procedure below the threshold.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses that specialise in mentoring, coaching, and training services. Companies with expertise in supporting SMEs, particularly those that are small or voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs), would be well-suited to compete for a place on the preferred provider list. Engaging with Norfolk County Council can potentially lead to individual contracts as required, making it a valuable prospect for those looking to expand their service offerings in the public sector.
