This tender, classified under the CPV code 79410000, is currently in the active tender phase, with a closing date for submissions set for 13th November 2020 at 17:00 UTC. The contract period is projected to commence on 23rd November 2020 and conclude on 31st July 2023. The total value of the project is estimated at £500,000, with a minimum value of £100,000, initiating an open procurement method aimed at enhancing business growth. This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for SMEs engaged in consultancy and coaching services. Businesses that specialise in management consultancy and have experience in targeted mentorship and support for growth-oriented companies would be particularly well-positioned to submit a proposal. The framework seeks experienced business coaches to aid SMEs facing growth challenges, indicating a strong opportunity for businesses capable of delivering innovative solutions that foster development and enhance operational capacity. ## Notice This is ERDF funded. The Leading Growth project is aimed at SMEs based predominately in the Tees Valley. The concept of the programme is to support the owner-managers of these SMEs to address the challenges they encounter, recognising and dealing directly and effectively with the issues that impact on their business. It will: - Increase the growth capacity of Tees Valley SMEs providing a response to barriers to growth and supporting the development of new products and processes; - Support businesses which are: at a growth/development crossroads; ready to move to the next stage of growth and investment; and actively wanting to make changes within their companies. The project will deliver two distinct but inter-related development programmes / support streams: 1). Leading Growth Programme: six-month advice, consultancy, mentorship and peer to peer development interventions delivered to small groups of SME owner-managers with the potential and a commitment to grow, but which lack the internal capacity to respond to growth opportunities. 2). Management Catalyst Programme: operating alongside Leading Growth, this support targets lower level managers, assisting the development of in company systems/processes to allow owner-managers to focus on growth and finance. Experienced business coaches are required to join a panel to support both the Leading Growth and Management Catalyst development programmes by providing one-to-one coaching to the SMEs on the courses Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/11fe2df0-4d42-4136-a6dc-e7b67a98943a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Oct 2020 | | Submission deadline | 13 Nov 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 23 Nov 2020 - 31 Jul 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TEESSIDE UNIVERSITY | | Locality | MIDDLESBROUGH | | Post town | Cleveland | | Postcode | TS1 3BX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC3 Tees Valley | | ITL 3 | TLC32 South Teesside | | Local authority | Middlesbrough | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Middlesbrough and Thornaby East | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79400000 - Business and management consultancy and related services - 79410000 - Business and management consultancy services - 79411100 - Business development consultancy services ## Release History - 13 Oct 2020 at 12:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/11fe2df0-4d42-4136-a6dc-e7b67a98943a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/11fe2df0-4d42-4136-a6dc-e7b67a98943a 13th October 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Middlesbrough:-ERDF---Leading-Growth-Business-Coaches-Framework/A89C97VY66 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
