This initiative targets the business and management consultancy sector, with a specific focus on coaching services, and will take place in High Wycombe, South East, United Kingdom. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 9th November 2021. The total contract value is estimated at £40,000, with a minimum contract value of £25,000. The contract period will commence on 22nd November 2021 and run until 30th April 2022, following an open procurement method. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in consultancy and coaching services, particularly those specialising in virtual training and entrepreneurship support. Companies that can effectively organize, market, and run engaging online courses for start-ups will be well positioned to compete for this contract. The initiative aims to facilitate sustainable growth for new businesses, offering a chance for suppliers with expertise in entrepreneurship development to contribute to economic recovery and innovation in the local community. ## Notice GLIDE is a new initiative which aims to generate increased levels of entrepreneurship by consolidating the existing knowledge and expertise and streamlining it to better cater to the needs of individuals wishing to start their own business. By doing so, GLIDE seeks to encourage innovation in the wake of COVID-19 and ultimately invigorate economic development and productivity growth. GLIDE is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) Programme which is designed to create jobs and support innovation, businesses, and local community regeneration. This brief is to support GLIDE in the setup, organisation, marketing, and facilitation of a series of entrepreneurship virtual courses. These courses are specifically focused on enabling start-ups, and those thinking of starting a business, to grow sustainably and reach their individual business goals. The successful supplier will be responsible for organising, managing, and running the three virtual courses early next year (2022). Each course will cover a minimum of 12 hours, which we anticipate will be split across a series of virtual lessons or workshops. Suppliers must be familiar with and comply with ERDF requirements.
