## Summary

Halton Borough Council is currently engaged in the Liverpool City Region Business Growth Programme, focusing on Manufacturing and Process Efficiency services. This open procurement process accepts tenders until 25th March 2019, with proposals to facilitate SME growth backed by European Regional Development Funding. The contract is set to commence on 1st May 2019 and will run until 31st March 2022, with a total value of £8,550. The services will primarily benefit businesses located in the North West region of England.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in business services such as consulting, marketing, and legal support. Businesses capable of providing no-cost support services aimed at increasing SME competitiveness would be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract, thus contributing to their growth and fostering stronger networks within the community.

## 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. To express your interest in this opportunity and access the RFQ documentation please visit www.the-chest.org.uk and search for Project ID DN397192. Questions relating to this document must be submitted via the Chest messaging facility only and telephone calls will not be answered during the live process.
