Notice Description

Established in 2010, D2N2 is a Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) operating in the local authority areas of Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham, and Nottinghamshire to grow the area's economy. Local enterprise partnerships are non-statutory bodies responsible for local economic development in England. D2N2 is one of the largest LEPs in England, with a population of more than two million people and with an economic output of over PS50.5 billion GVA (gross value added).

D2N2 has up to PS4m to invest and requires a 1:1 co-investment rate from the successful Tenderer. D2N2 proposes a Limited Partnership fund structure for the Fund in order to deliver the investments.
