This open tender, which is part of the European Regional Development Funding initiative aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of SMEs, was published on 7th March 2019. The tender period concluded on 25th March 2019, and the contracted services are set to commence on 1st May 2019, lasting until 31st March 2022. This programme is primarily delivering services in the North West of England and categorised under business services related to law, marketing, consulting, and security. This tender provides significant opportunities for SMEs and voluntary and community sector enterprises looking to grow their business by engaging in community-oriented contracts. Companies that specialise in marketing, consulting, or business support services could greatly benefit from this procurement, as the programme is designed to bolster the capabilities and confidence of businesses hesitant to seek commercial support. By leveraging public funding, potential suppliers can tap into a resource that aims to enhance their reach and services, providing a valuable proposition for competitive tendering. ## Notice The Business Growth Programme extends the current Liverpool City Region Integrated Business Support project through securing further European Regional Development Funding under Priority Axis 3: Enhancing the Competitiveness of SME's'. The Business Growth Programme will continue to provide a range of no-cost business support services designed to build both the capacity and confidence within those SME's reluctant to engage with existing business support providers for either lack of knowledge or understanding or simply because they are reluctant to pay for, or do not perceive the value of, existing commercial provision.
