This procurement process aims to secure Delivery Partners to support a community-based business growth programme in the Greater Manchester City Region, backed by a total eligible budget of up to £5 million from the European Regional Development Fund. The tender period is set to close on 19 April 2018, and organisations interested in participating must provide a significant contribution to service implementation, ideally offering between 55% to 100% matching support. This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses focused on community services, specifically those that can deliver client support and business services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for this tender, which seeks to promote innovative business support services for a diverse range of potential entrepreneurs, including disadvantaged groups. Engaging with this tender can help businesses expand their reach and impact within the community, fostering both growth and social value creation. ## Notice The Excelerate Labs is seeking to procure suitable Delivery Partners to support its application for continuation post December 2018. Delivery Partners are invited from organisations that can provide client delivery and/or business support at a community based level and provide a minimum of 55% match, and up to 100% contribution to support service implementation. Once the full partnership is confirmed a standardised model of match may be applied. The total eligible budget available is up to PS5 Million (including any extension and dependent on EU Programme requirements). The programme is supported by European Regional Development Fund. Excelerate Labs expect to offer Partnership arrangements to between 2 and 12 organisations as a result of this invitation process.
