This procurement falls under the "Education and training services" industry category and is classified as an open procedure. The tender's timeline includes a submission deadline on 25 October 2021, with the contract commencing on 10 January 2022 and concluding on 9 January 2023. The initiative is designed to bolster the local economy, particularly in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, by providing tailored support to encourage self-employment and sustainable job creation across the district. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can offer entrepreneurial coaching services. Businesses interested in competing should possess experience in delivering community-based economic support, ideally with a focus on helping start-ups and local enterprises. Given the emphasis on non-sector-specific and universal support, providers with diverse service offerings tailored to various community demographics will find this an excellent opportunity to grow their presence in Bradford's recovering economy. ## Notice The Council's Department of Place, Economy and Development Services is seeking to procure providers to deliver a place-based entrepreneurial support programme in specific localities, to address gaps in enterprise and business support in the district. The programme will contribute to priorities within the Bradford District Economic Recovery Plan and will be delivered in community settings across the district. The programme is intended to support the recovery and beyond following the Covid-19 pandemic. The ambition is to increase self-employment and help to create sustainable jobs and growth in communities across the district.
