The programme falls under the business services industry category, with a total value of £570,000. This open procurement is in the award stage, following a tender process that ended on 13th October 2021. The contract period is set from 1st January 2022 to 30th June 2023, following previous funding of £5.7 million, with an additional £0.9 million applied for the extension. The tender was published on 8th September 2021. This opportunity presents significant potential for growth, particularly for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in business consultancy and innovation support. Businesses that offer expertise in nurturing start-ups and developing viable business models would be particularly well-suited to participate in this tender, thereby contributing to and benefiting from the objectives of increased self-employment and enterprise in the North Tyneside region. ## Notice The Made In North Tyneside (MINT) programme, which is delivered under the business factory branding, is managed and part funded by the Council. The core enterprise team project is about creating opportunities for potential business start-ups supporting them to develop their ideas into viable opportunities and supporting North Tyneside's existing small to medium business community with specialist consultancy support to help them grow, as well as providing new product / service development support around innovation. North Tyneside Council secured a total of PS5.7 million jointly funded by European Regional Development Funding (ERDF) and North Tyneside Council to deliver the start-up programme from March 2009 to December 2021. The objectives were to increase the number of local residents exploring enterprise and self employment as a viable career option and increase the number of people starting up in business. A further PS0.9 million has been applied for to extend the project from 1st January 2022 to 30 June 2023.
