Summary of the contracting process

The Enterprise Hub Strategic Partner Procurement initiated by The Women's Organisation aims to engage between 2 to 10 strategic partner bodies to support service implementation, with a total budget of up to £1.5 million funded by the European Regional Development Fund. This procurement process falls under the open method and has now transitioned past the tender period, which closed on 4th August 2017. The services sought are primarily classified under business and management consultancy as well as other community and business-related services and will require involvement from August 2017 until at least November 2018, with potential for extension.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in community engagement, policy support, and strategic advisory services, especially those with a strong footprint in the Liverpool City Region. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can demonstrate geographical reach and the capacity to foster economic inclusion initiatives would be well-positioned to compete. Firms that can align their services with local authority ambitions and contribute to community outreach will likely find themselves favoured in this competitive process.
