This initiative falls under the industry category of business analysis consultancy services and is based in Boston Spa, England. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing various organisations to compete for the opportunity. Key dates include a tender period that ends on 15 March 2019, with the contract period set to commence on 1 October 2019 and running until 30 June 2022. The expected contract value is £85,000, with a minimum value established at £8,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs looking to expand their capabilities and market reach. The programme encompasses nine distinct tender opportunities focused on areas such as brand building, business model refinement, and developing growth strategies, making it particularly suited for businesses specialised in consultancy, education, and training services. Competitive organisations will be able to leverage the unique resources provided by the British Library's Business & IP Centre to foster innovation and growth. ## Notice The British Library's Business & IP Centre is designed to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs from that first spark of inspiration to successfully launching and growing a business. The Centre offers free access to the UK's most comprehensive collection of business and intellectual property information, including around 50 million patent specifications, unique databases on trademarks and registered designs, thousands of market research reports, company reports, trade journals, business directories and guides to legal information and government publications. British Library information experts are on hand to guide users to the resources. There is also a range of workshops and events run by British Library experts and partners. With funding support from the European Regional Development Fund, the Centre launched the 'Innovating for Growth' programme in late 2011 to focus on providing support to growth businesses, as opposed to start ups. Innovating for Growth - Phase 1 was completed in December 2015. Innovating for Growth - Phase 2 started in May 2016 and a project extension is due to start service delivery in October 2019, subject to final funding approval. The 'Innovating for Growth - Scale-ups' programme aims to use the Centre's unique resources and expertise to help high-growth businesses scale up, through developing new products and services and entering new markets. There are nine tender opportunities under this project. 001304 Innovating for Growth Scaleups Programme 'Building Your Brand' 001305 Innovating for Growth Scaleups Programme 'Refining your Business Model' Module 001306 Innovating for Growth Scaleups Programme 'Get Started Workshop' Module 001307 Innovating for Growth Scaleups Programme 'Developing a Growth Strategy' Module 001308 Innovating for Growth Scaleups Programme 'Maximising Your Intellectual property' Module 001309 Innovating for Growth Scaleups Programme 'Deliver Introduction Workshop' Module 001310 Innovating for Growth Scaleups Programme 'Creating a Marketing Strategy' Module 001311 Innovating for Growth Scaleups Programme 'Product and Service Innovation' Module 001312 Innovating for Growth Scaleups Programme 'Financial Planning For Growth' Module If you are interested in any of these opportunities please browse to https://bl.bravosolution.co.uk and click on the Current Opportunities and Notices link for further details ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/add6f847-1841-4989-af86-c03f2276c7aa | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Mar 2019 | | Submission deadline | 15 Mar 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2019 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £85,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE BRITISH LIBRARY | | Locality | BOSTON SPA | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS23 7BQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Wetherby | | Westminster constituency | Wetherby and Easingwold | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 72221000 - Business analysis consultancy services - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 7 Mar 2019 at 15:22 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/add6f847-1841-4989-af86-c03f2276c7aa - 28 Feb 2019 at 14:44 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/add6f847-1841-4989-af86-c03f2276c7aa - 28 Feb 2019 at 14:43 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/add6f847-1841-4989-af86-c03f2276c7aa ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/add6f847-1841-4989-af86-c03f2276c7aa 7th March 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://bl.bravosolution.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
