This opportunity falls under the category of business services, specifically targeting support for enterprise and entrepreneurial skills among students and recent graduates. The tender period has already concluded, with the deadline for submissions having been on 28th June 2019, and the contract is scheduled to commence on 12th July 2019, concluding on 11th July 2023. The procurement method employed is an open procedure below threshold, with a contract value of £39,000. This tender presents an excellent growth opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that are poised to deliver business support and consultancy services. Companies with expertise in entrepreneurship, social enterprise, and business development advisory services will particularly benefit, as they can play a vital role in enhancing the employability and enterprise skills of the programme's participants. With the increasing focus on supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs, firms engaged in coaching, consulting, or training will find this procurement process to be a strategic avenue for expanding their business reach. ## Notice The University is funding an enterprise and entrepreneurial programme (E&EP) to support students and recent graduates (clients) who want to improve their enterprise skills to secure graduate level employment or to start their own business. This contract is for the provision of a minimum of six hours (per client) relevant business support and advice that adds value to the programme, as well as to the client's business / enterprise start-up. The Careers & Employment Service (CES) Enterprise Programme, Be The Boss, as part of the University of Derby, wishes to recruit a pool of Business Professionals (any individual who may work in or run their own Not-For-Profit, social enterprise organisation, micro-business or commercial organisation) who can be allocated on an "as needed" basis throughout the delivery period of the (E&EP). We are expecting beneficiaries of the project will be clients 1) who have a business idea, but who are not yet trading, possibly with no prior experience of self-employment or 2) who want to improve their employability by gaining enterprise skills.
