The programme aims to deliver business support activities between February 2023 and mid-2023. The tender, titled "Creative & Digi-Tech Pre-Acceleration Programme," falls under the services category and is open for submissions until December 14, 2022. The contract period is scheduled from January 23 to May 1, 2023. This tender presents an opportunity for providers of pre-acceleration business support services to target nascent and early-stage businesses in the Creative and Digi-tech sectors. Interested businesses should focus on offering expert mentoring, events, workshops, and other forms of business development support. The Basildon Council, in collaboration with other relevant partners, will work closely with the successful bidder to deliver the programme effectively and contribute to the growth of the creative and digital technology businesses in the Basildon area. ## Notice Basildon Brough Council's Economic Development Team is seeking to contract with a proven provider of pre-acceleration support to develop a small scale pilot for a Pre-Acceleration Programme for Creative & Digi-Tech Start-ups and Early Stage Businesses. We are seeking a provider of an intensive pre-acceleration business support programme delivered in Basildon to serve and support the growth and development of nascent and early stage creative and digital technology businesses in the area. As such, Basildon Council is inviting submissions from service providers to deliver a pilot pre-accelerator programme with a creative and digital technology sector focus to a first cohort of businesses in Basildon. The Basildon Creative & Digi-Tech Pre-Accelerator Programme will deliver a programme of activity to enhance the competitiveness of nascent and early stage Creative and Digi-tech businesses between February 2023 and mid-2023. The pilot programme should target pre-start-up and early stage businesses in the Creative and Digi-tech sectors that have growth potential, that trade predominantly business to business and that have the propensity to create jobs. We have opted to target both nascent entrepreneurs and early stage creative-tech businesses, as we believe there is value to be gained from helping both nascent entrepreneurs as they build and validate their idea, and early-stage founders as they review and refocus to achieve their business goals. We also recognise this target group may provide a more realistic beneficiary cohort. The package of support we are looking for a provider to deliver will likely include a mix of engagement activities, expert mentoring, events and workshops, finance brokerage, access to grants and peer-to-peer learning. The successful bidder will work closely with Basildon Council, South Essex College and other relevant partners to support the delivery of a successful Basildon Creative & Digi-Tech Pre-Accelerator Programme.
