This programme, designed to assist businesses through cohort groups in the Tees Valley region, is part of a national initiative to reduce the UK's productivity gap, specifically in response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The tender documents were published on 5th October 2020, and submissions are due by noon on 20th October 2020. The contract, valued at £260,000, will commence on 16th November 2020 and run until 31st March 2021, offering services primarily in business and management consultancy. This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses, particularly those specialising in business consultancy and support services. The local focus means that SMEs and VCSEs based in the North East of England would be particularly well-suited to participate, providing expertise that can help fellow businesses adapt and thrive in the current economic climate. By competing for this tender, businesses can not only contribute to the recovery efforts but also secure a partnership that could lead to further contracts and collaborations within the local economy. ## Notice Tees Valley Combined Authority is using the Accelerated Open Procedure to appoint one or more providers to deliver key elements of the Peer Network Programme to support 264 participants and SMEs through the provisions of cohort groups, across the Tees Valley region. Peer Networks is a national initiative that will be delivered locally through the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) network and their respective Growth Hubs. The programme's longer-term aims are focused on reducing the UK productivity gap by helping business leaders find practical solutions to strategic and operational challenges. It also forms part of the UK Government response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing EU transition, seeking to improve the resilience of SMEs, their capability to adapt their business models to the "new normal" and position themselves for future success, driving longer-term productivity gains.
