## Notice

The Skills and Apprenticeship Hub and its 3 partners the Growth Platform, Halton Borough Council and Greater Merseyside Learning Provider Federation provide a one-stop shop for skills advice and support across the Liverpool City Region (LCR) in line with the Combined Authority's (CA) One Front Door approach to business support. The Skills and Apprenticeship Hub offers an opportunity to simplify how employers and learners navigate the local skills system, providing much-needed strategic leadership and accelerating the delivery of the local Skills Strategy. The current branding of this project is 'Be More' and we currently have a 'Be More' website that is being developed into a careers portal. We are now looking to work with a supplier to help us achieve our objectives for Strand 1 of the 'Be More' brand, specifically around driving sign ups from employers and encouraging businesses to advertise/look to the 'Be More' website.
