## Summary

Halton Borough Council is seeking contractors for the "Liverpool City Region Business Growth Programme: Halton - Strategic Marketing and Sales" tender, aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of SMEs. The procurement is currently in the Award stage, following an open procedure, with a total contract value of £7,500. The initiative is part of a programme that provides no-cost business support services, designed to help SMEs reluctant to engage with existing providers. The contract period is set to commence on 1st April 2022 and extend until 30th June 2023, and interested parties may refer to further details available through Halton Borough Council's contact point, Julie Leong.

This tender presents significant opportunities for specialist contractors within the business services sector, particularly those engaged in marketing, consulting, and sales support. Businesses that demonstrate experience in delivering tailored support to SMEs and fostering strategic growth would be well-suited to participate. The programme aims to build both capacity and confidence amongst local SMEs, allowing for further expansion and development within the regional economy and ultimately positioning competing businesses to establish long-term relationships and foster future growth.

## Notice

Halton Borough Council's Business Support Team are seeking to recruit suitably experienced and qualified specialist contractors to deliver intensive specialist support services to promote growth amongst SMEs in the borough. The support provided will be delivered under the Business Growth Programme Phase 3 that will extend the current Liverpool City Region Integrated Business Growth Programme Phase 2 Support project through securing further European Regional Development Funding under Priority Axis 3: Enhancing the Competitiveness of SMEs. The aim of the Business Growth Programme is to provide a range of business support services at no cost to the client, designed to build both the capacity and confidence within those SMEs that are reluctant to engage with existing business support providers. This reluctance may be because of lack of awareness, or understanding, or simply because they are reluctant to pay for, or do not perceive the value of, existing commercial provision. The Project will provide additional, more intensive, business support where a participating SME lacks the capacity, expertise or resources to begin the initial roll-out of their individual Action Plan for Growth. Support will be tailored to meet the needs of each individual SME and will focus upon the fundamental elements which businesses must have in place in order to be firstly, sustainable and secondly, to grow. In summary, the provision of a no-cost service by the Business Growth Programme will provide a valuable resource which will act as a pathway and catalyst for businesses in order to enable them to establish the financial and strategic foundations for the future.
