This initiative falls under the industry category of business and management consultancy services, aimed at enhancing entrepreneurship, particularly in response to the challenges posed by COVID-19. The contract, valued at £40,000 with a minimum value of £25,000, spans from 22nd November 2021 to 30th April 2022. The procurement process followed an open procedure, and the key milestone of the contract award occurred on 24th November 2021. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in educational services, especially those specialising in online training and entrepreneurship development. Companies with expertise in managing virtual courses, coaching, and business consultancy services would find this contract particularly suitable. Engaging in this project could not only foster business growth for suppliers but also allow them to contribute meaningfully to local community regeneration and economic upliftment through the GLIDE initiative. ## Notice GLIDE is a new initiative which aims to generate increased levels of entrepreneurship by consolidating the existing knowledge and expertise and streamlining it to better cater to the needs of individuals wishing to start their own business. By doing so, GLIDE seeks to encourage innovation in the wake of COVID-19 and ultimately invigorate economic development and productivity growth. GLIDE is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) Programme which is designed to create jobs and support innovation, businesses, and local community regeneration. This brief is to support GLIDE in the setup, organisation, marketing, and facilitation of a series of entrepreneurship virtual courses. These courses are specifically focused on enabling start-ups, and those thinking of starting a business, to grow sustainably and reach their individual business goals. The successful supplier will be responsible for organising, managing, and running the three virtual courses early next year (2022). Each course will cover a minimum of 12 hours, which we anticipate will be split across a series of virtual lessons or workshops. Suppliers must be familiar with and comply with ERDF requirements.
