The procurement is currently at the Tender stage, with submissions due by 11.59pm on 1 March 2021. The project commenced in January 2021 and is scheduled to conclude by 31 December 2022. The total budget for delivering up to six workshops is approximately £20,000, with qualifications required demonstrating prior experience in cyber security training and access to SME networks within the region. This opportunity is ideal for businesses specialising in cyber security training, particularly those with experience in delivering education and training services.

Businesses that are qualified to provide such training and have strong networks in Gloucestershire can leverage this tender to expand their market exposure and foster deeper connections within the local SME community. ## Notice The University of the West of England, Bristol, is leading a European Regional Development Funded (ERDF) project called ScaleUp 4 Growth Gloucestershire (S4GG) in the Gloucestershire region.
