## Summary

The procurement process titled "TC1093 - Build a Business in GM Libraries" is managed by Manchester City Council and falls under the category of general management consultancy services. This contract, valued at £40,000, aims to enhance business support through community-based workshops across the Greater Manchester area. The tender period concluded on 22 June 2021, while the contract commenced on 15 July 2021 and will last until 14 July 2023. The procurement method utilised is an open procedure, and this project focuses on providing resources to local libraries to assist entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds.

Opportunities abound for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations to engage in this initiative due to its emphasis on developing local business services. Companies that specialise in consultancy, training, or community engagement would be particularly well-positioned to compete for this type of work, as they could contribute to the sustainable support infrastructure being established in Greater Manchester. This approach not only supports local entrepreneurs in commercialising their ideas but also fosters a thriving local economy.

## Notice

The workshop programme for 'Build A Business in GM Libraries' has been built around a satellite model of delivery and targeted engagement. The project will work with 8 Greater Manchester library partners to deliver a programme of satellite workshops, making the Business & IP Centre Manchester's resources and expertise accessible through established community hubs, thereby upskilling other Greater Manchester libraries to deliver their own business services and developing a lasting, sustainable and embedded support infrastructure for the benefit of the local economy. With a focus on helping entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds to commercialize their ideas and set-up successful enterprises.
