## Summary

The procurement process involves the Business Growth Hub Limited, located in Manchester, which is seeking to establish a Framework Contract for an Executive Development Programme. This initiative, published on 19 July 2018, targets businesses in the North West of England that employ twenty or more staff, aiming to enhance their leadership capabilities and promote business growth. The tender was conducted through an open procurement method and closed on 28 August 2018, with the contract set to commence on 1 October 2018 and run until 30 September 2021. The maximum value of the contracts within the framework is £2,000,000, with a minimum starting threshold of £1,000,000 in total value.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in management and leadership training services, to become accredited suppliers for the Business Growth Hub. Providers with expertise in delivering tailored, intensive support to executives from eligible companies, particularly those with a focus on enhancing leadership skills, would be well poised to compete. SMEs are particularly encouraged to engage since the procurement process is designed to support smaller enterprises aiming to expand their service offerings in the North West region.

## Notice

GC Business Growth Hub (BGH) wishes to appoint service providers (maximum of 30) to enter into a Framework Contract for the delivery of leadership development to owners, directors and senior leaders that will develop their skills, knowledge and expertise to enable growth within their business. The programme will target businesses that employ twenty or more staff and have the capacity to create jobs and increase turnover/sales. For those businesses with less than 20 staff, individual business cases may be put forward if they have high growth potential for them to be considered for the programme. The successful suppliers will be expected to deliver high quality training/development across Greater Manchester. These suppliers will form part of a framework of providers and will be called off by BGH to work with named executives from eligible businesses. For each commission, suppliers will be required to design and deliver 18 hours of intensive support on specific leadership areas. All 18 hours of delivery must be face to face regardless of delivery style chosen. The support must be able to be delivered either entirely on a one to one basis, a blend of one to one and internal group of executives or a blend of one to one and external group of mixed business executives, and be flexible and tailored to meet the specific needs of an individual business. Each 18 hours of support per individual business is paid at a maximum of PS1,500 exc. VAT
