Each organisation can apply for up to a maximum of PS25,000. The total budget available is PS175,000. This development fund is focused on providing support to help individuals overcome a defined barrier that is (or has the potential to) preventing them from launching and establishing their own business. The key objective of this fund is to ensure that anyone in West Yorkshire who wants to start a business can access good quality support and guidance to do so. Particularly individuals form our key demographics including (but not limited to): women, individuals from an ethnic minority, those who self-identify as having a disability, those with low education attainment and those from deprived areas of West Yorkshire. This call for projects aims to better understand the barriers that these individuals face and test the impact of targeted support aimed at helping these individuals overcome a defined barrier. Learnings from this call for project will be used to design future start-up provision. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/52c1a5d8-a3d1-48aa-8a46-bda1e1d8503e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Nov 2023 | | Submission deadline | 30 Nov 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2024 - 1 Aug 2024 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WEST YORKSHIRE COMBINED AUTHORITY | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 2DE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79400000 - Business and management consultancy and related services ## Release History - 9 Nov 2023 at 12:39 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/52c1a5d8-a3d1-48aa-8a46-bda1e1d8503e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/52c1a5d8-a3d1-48aa-8a46-bda1e1d8503e 9th November 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=73309&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/103257 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.westyorks-ca.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
