This tender, classified under Business and Management Consultancy Services, is currently in the Award stage, with the contract commencing on 1st February 2021 and ending on 28th February 2023. Interested parties should note that the award was officially published on 12th January 2021, following a tender period that concluded on 16th December 2020. The procurement method used is an open procedure, allowing for a wide range of bidders to participate. This programme presents significant opportunities for businesses that exhibit growth potential, particularly those willing to pivot or diversify in response to the impacts of Covid-19. Companies specialising in business consultancy services, especially SMEs that can provide tailored support and strategic advice for recovery, will find themselves well-positioned to compete for this contract. The initiative aims to foster sustainable economic growth in East Sussex, making it a strategic opportunity for consultants and service providers seeking to engage with the local economy. ## Notice East Sussex County Council wishes to commission a programme to support ambitious, high growth potential businesses in East Sussex, in light of the impacts of Covid-19. In 2018 the County Council commissioned three research pilot projects to trial an intensive support model aimed at businesses with 'scale up' / 'high growth' potential in East Sussex, branded 'Scale Up East Sussex'. The model of one-to-one support, workshops, and peer sessions has a significant evidence base nationally, and the pilots demonstrated that this model could work for businesses with high growth potential in East Sussex. Further details on the pilot programme are provided below. There has been a range of support available from government aimed at supporting businesses through the immediate impact of Covid-19, and the Business East Sussex Growth Hub continues to provide a 'one stop shop' for businesses, providing advice and referring into the many publicly funded support offers. The County Council is committed to driving sustainable economic growth. This new programme, based on the learning from the research pilots, is aimed at supporting high growth potential businesses with their long-term recovery and growth plan, to bounce back from the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. We recognise that ambitious businesses with scale up potential may now need to 'pivot', adapt, or diversify their business to get them on to a high growth trajectory. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/65c6b506-35e1-457a-b57a-ebdfb6d969a0 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Jan 2021 | | Submission deadline | 16 Dec 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 12 Jan 2021 | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2021 - 28 Feb 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SE SHARED SERVICES | | Locality | EAST SUSSEX | | Post town | Brighton | | Postcode | BN7 1UE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ22 East Sussex CC | | Local authority | Lewes | | Electoral ward | Lewes Priory | | Westminster constituency | Lewes | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SUSSEX INNOVATION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73220000 - Development consultancy services - 79400000 - Business and management consultancy and related services - 79410000 - Business and management consultancy services ## Release History - 12 Jan 2021 at 08:38 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/65c6b506-35e1-457a-b57a-ebdfb6d969a0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/65c6b506-35e1-457a-b57a-ebdfb6d969a0 12th January 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.eastsussex.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
