## Summary

The Coventry City Council (CCC) is initiating a tender titled "COV - Coventry and Warwickshire Business Support Programme (ERDF)" aimed at providing support services for business start-ups in Coventry and Warwickshire. This tender falls under the industry category of business and management consultancy and related services. The procurement process is currently at the active stage, with the tender period scheduled to close on 9th November 2018. The contract is set to commence on 2nd January 2019 and will run until 1st January 2023. The procurement method selected for this process is the open procedure, allowing for broad participation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in consultancy and support services for start-ups and micro businesses.

## Notice

Coventry City Council (CCC) has been very supportive of business start-up support services for a number of years and sees this as a vital service needed to maintain young business start-ups and encourage new start-ups. There is a continued strong demand for the Start up support service in Coventry, as evidenced by the fact that 70% of Growth Hub engagements have been start-ups or micro businesses in the current ERDF programme. CCC has bid for a further three years of ERDF funding to continue delivery of the Start-up service in Coventry from 1st January 2019 to 31st December 2021. The proposal would ensure continuity of service and ensure there are no gaps in delivery. Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
