## Summary

The Growth Company is seeking proposals for the "Create Growth Cohort Programme" to support business growth in the creative sector. The programme aims to take creative industry businesses through a two-day cohort programme followed by coaching and an Investment Readiness programme.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses in the management consultancy and business development sector to engage with the support programme targeted at the creative industry. Businesses with experience in delivering cohort programmes, coaching services, and investment readiness support are well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The location for this opportunity is in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

## Notice

GC Business Growth Hub is introducing a support programme specifically targeted at the creative sector. Funded by DCMS, this will complement its existing sector specific programme offerings of: * Greater Connected - a cohort programme that helps DCT businesses stabilise, adapt and grow. It is a 2 day programme spread over 2 weeks. * Investment Readiness Cohort Programme - a cohort programme for businesses who are investment ready, focusing on equity introduction, equity sources, valuation and pitching. This programme, Create Growth, will take creative industry businesses through a two-day cohort programme to support their business growth. Alongside the two-day cohort programme, cohort members will also have the opportunity to access two further coaching days, reflecting on the learnings from the programme in a more focused environment, within smaller groups. Cohort members will then graduate onto an Investment Readiness programme (delivered in-house by GC Business Growth Hub)
