Summary of the contracting process

The Liverpool City Region Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) is seeking partners for its "Local Growth Hub Custom Broker Services" project. This procurement, classified under business development consultancy services, falls into the award stage and is based in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The overall value of the contract is £350,000, with a contract period set to commence on 4 April 2018 and last until 31 March 2019. This followed a tender period that concluded on 11 March 2018. The LEP aims to engage brokerage partners across six local authority areas, specifically Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens, and Wirral.

This procurement process presents opportunities for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations to expand their services in the Liverpool City Region. Businesses that specialise in consultancy, especially those with a focus on supporting underrepresented groups such as women and BAME communities, would be particularly well-suited to participate. Engaging in this framework could lead to significant growth, given the LEP's commitment to fostering local economic development and inclusive support systems.
