The tender, classified under "Business and management consultancy and related services", was published on 27th March 2019, with a submission deadline of 26th April 2019. The programme aims to support Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) across the Yorkshire and the Humber region, focusing on businesses employing 50 or more staff, and the contract duration is from 1st July 2019 to 30th September 2021. The total contract value is £220,000, and the procurement method used was an open procedure above the threshold. This procurement opportunity is particularly suited for businesses that specialise in business consultancy and development services, especially those with experience working with SMEs poised for growth. Given the focus on enhancing skills and expertise, consultancy firms that can demonstrate a record of facilitating growth and job creation will have a competitive advantage. The contract seeks to engage a minimum of 60 businesses within the region, presenting a significant opportunity for firms looking to expand their portfolio in business development and consultancy services. ## Notice The scope of the project is to seek a Service Provider to deliver a Scale-up Business Development Programme (SBDP) to assist owners, directors and senior leaders from Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) that shall develop their skills, knowledge and expertise to enable growth within their business. The project is part of the Humber Business Growth Hub - Business Growth Scheme which is one of three schemes that has been approved under a response to competitive calls for European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) projects released by the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government for the 2014-2020 European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) Programme. The Humber Business Growth Hub (HBGH) is part of the Humber LEP and provides quick and easy access to local and national resources along with information to support business to start, sustain and grow. The Service Provider shall be expected to deliver high quality development activities to businesses across the whole of the Humber Geography. It is intended for the SBDP to be recognised as a high impact programme of support and as such a sense of exclusivity should be created. This shall be achieved through the calibre of providers and competitive application for businesses with focus being targeted on those businesses with the highest growth potential. The programme shall target businesses that employ 50 or more staff and have the capacity to create jobs and increase turnover/sales. There is an overall target for this activity to engage and support a minimum of 60 businesses.
