This tender falls under the business and management consultancy services category. The procurement method is an open procedure (below threshold) with the deadline for tender submissions set for June 9, 2023. The contract period is planned to start on July 3, 2023, and conclude on February 28, 2025, focused on delivering training in person in Sandwell. This tender by the Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council offers opportunities for businesses specializing in business consultancy and entrepreneurial training services. Businesses interested in offering intensive support to existing businesses or training for new entrepreneurs in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom would find this tender suitable for expanding their service portfolio. The provision of entrepreneurial training could attract businesses looking to engage with local authorities and contribute to the growth of Start Up Businesses within the region. ## Notice The following quotation is to provide entrepreneurial training in terms of an intensive short-term introduction to business course which is accessible to participants. It would begin by a series of marketing and promotion of the business course helping to recruit participants or pre-start-up business clients as attendees. A launch event will form part of the training activity to induct attendees and to promote how Sandwell is supporting it's Start Up Businesses - "Sandwell Home of the Successful Start Up". Each participant should receive an initial diagnostic and meeting to determine the level of course required. For businesses already established a minimum of 2 hours intensive support should be provided. For new businesses or businesses yet to being trading there should be a minimum of two weeks of informal business focussed training with the aim of increasing Sandwell participants awareness of entrepreneurship, and enterprise skills. As some residents may also be working full -time flexibility should be offered to allow attendance to the support available. We would expect training provision to take place in person for the most part, but we are mindful that a back-up option for online delivery may be necessary if there are public health grounds to do so (for example a spike in the rate of covid 19). The courses are to be based in Sandwell. This quotation is for a 2 year programme subject to a review 28th February 2024. The review will consider performance to date and availability of funding. If satisfactory the second-year delivery will be confirmed.
