"description": "Glasgow's Economic Strategy 2016-2023 outlines the aim of having the most productive city economy in the UK by 2023. Underpinning a range of early actions are ten key themes, one of which is supporting enterprise. For Glasgow to further realise its ambition and build on current progress, the continued growth of businesses, in particular SMEs, remains a key contributing factor. The council therefore intends to run a tender exercise later in 2022 for the Glasgow Business Growth Programme - Phase 3 Framework. A high-level description of the Lots and services that may be required as part of this Framework are detailed in this Prior Information Notice (PIN). Prior to any publication, the council is undertaking market research to inform the procurement and to ensure industry feedback is used to shape, as appropriate, the overall strategy. All interested organisations are encouraged to provide feedback via a survey response, the link to which is noted below. Please note, all information provided will be held in the strictest confidence and will not be shared out with the council. All details are for information only. Whilst market feedback may be used to define the procurement strategy, it will not impact the evaluation of any future tender opportunity. https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/GlasgowBusinessGrowthProgrammePhase3Framework/ NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Public Contracts Scotland Web Site at http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=691815.
