For up to a maximum period of 2, one (1) year extensions. The first part of this contract is to collate and analyse data required for the production by GBSLEP of the annual review for Financial Year 2018-19 in time for the BEIS imposed external deadline of 25 May 2019. This information is generally available within partner organisations and the Hub has a central CRM system used by all partners and projects for the recording of interactions and key information on businesses. This data will be available for the successful contractor. The BEIS Annual Review template for 2017/18 is at Appendix 2, as an example.
