This tender focused on creating a shared understanding of good business growth through guidelines and a marketing campaign. The tender was part of business and management consultancy services, below the threshold. The contract period is from February 19, 2024, to May 31, 2024, with key deliverables expected by designated dates in March and marketing activities in April & May. This tender provides an opportunity for small and medium enterprises, as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises, to engage in purpose-driven business practices. Businesses involved in research, guideline development, stakeholder engagement, and marketing campaigns are well-suited to compete. The Liverpool City Region aims to be a leader in ethical business practices, fostering innovation and embracing holistic approaches that consider social and environmental impacts. ## Notice Background In 2023 Growth Platform collaborated with Firestarters to deliver a programme of events called 'Growth for Good'. The events were hosted in the city region's six boroughs and focused on six core subjects including Diversity and Inclusion, Net Zero Carbon and Fundraising & Investment. Through these events, valuable insights were gathered, revealing the business community's strong desire to understand how their organisations can have a more positive and meaningful impact and become a 'good growth business'. Requirement To begin to support business in their aim to become 'good growth businesses' and to build on the success of the Growth for Good events, we now wish to establish a shared language and common understanding of good business growth. This will be achieved through clear guidelines and the adoption of widely understood and utilised terminology complemented by an accompanying awareness campaign. These initiatives are designed to capture the attention of key stakeholders and encourage their active participation in a city region wide movement towards improved, more ethical business practices. The guidelines themselves will serve as a significant milestone, highlighting the innovative approach of the Liverpool City Region to purpose-driven business and its ambition to be a leader in this space nationally. Through this work our aim is to enhance the reputation of the LCR as a hub for purpose driven business, provide meaningful support to businesses in all stages in their life cycle, challenge conventional practices to foster innovative thinking around what 'Good Growth' means to the LCR and offer businesses an opportunity to embrace a more comprehensive approach that encompasses a more holistic approach, including social and environmental impact. To assist us with this activity we require a supplier to deliver the following; 1) Research and creation of a common language to support 'Good Growth Business' 2) Develop and produce 'Good Growth Business' Guidelines 3) Stakeholder engagement activities - with stakeholders from each of the 6 LCR boroughs 4) A supporting 'Good Growth Business' marketing campaign We expect items 1-3 to be delivered by the end of March 2024 with the marketing campaign running through April & May. All activity should be completed by 31st May 2024. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b0d8b3b2-feba-43ae-be73-9c035c2219fb | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Mar 2024 | | Submission deadline | 7 Feb 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Feb 2024 | | Contract period | 19 Feb 2024 - 31 May 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £32,900 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LIVERPOOL CITY REGION GROWTH COMPANY LIMITED | | Locality | LIVERPOOL | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L3 1BG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD72 Liverpool | | Local authority | Liverpool | | Electoral ward | Waterfront South | | Westminster constituency | Liverpool Riverside | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | MATCHSTICK CREATIVE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79400000 - Business and management consultancy and related services - 79900000 - Miscellaneous business and business-related services ## Release History - 7 Mar 2024 at 09:29 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b0d8b3b2-feba-43ae-be73-9c035c2219fb - 30 Jan 2024 at 16:22 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ae37a588-18bf-4dec-836e-1072ad4f0377 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b0d8b3b2-feba-43ae-be73-9c035c2219fb 7th March 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ae37a588-18bf-4dec-836e-1072ad4f0377 30th January 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/703267d2-4af6-4198-ac17-fa65b674f7e5 - https://growthplatform.org/tenders/ ## Notice URLs - https://growthplatform.org/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
