This tender falls within the business organisation services industry and has a contract period of two core years, with a potential extension of up to an additional two years based on funding confirmation and delivery satisfaction. Interested bidders are required to submit their proposals by 12:00 Noon on 6th March 2017, with the tender period closing on 22nd June 2018. The total contract value is estimated at £220 million, with a minimum value of £380,000. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specializing in business development, management consultancy, and related services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). By participating, these companies can engage in the delivery of vital support services aimed at fostering local economic growth. Suppliers who are well-versed in developing business hubs and can effectively manage relationships within the local enterprise landscape will be particularly suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice The Hertfordshire Growth Hub is a key part of the LEP's Enterprise Programme and this tender is to commission a provider to deliver the Growth Hub and related services from 1st October 2018. The duration of the Contract is two core years, with the option to extend the Contract by up to a further two years, year on year to 30th September 2022. The first two years funding is committed and the further two years is discretionary, dependent on funding confirmation and LEP satisfaction with the delivery of the Contract up to that point. National funding is expected from 2020 for two years, but the amount will be dependent on spending review results nearer the time.
