## Notice

As part of the Liverpool City Region UKSPF Programme, Growth Platform is seeking a sector specialist(s) to conduct detailed analysis of the three priority clusters in the Liverpool City Region (LCR). The Cluster Mapping is divided in to three Lots, and suppliers have the option to bid for more than one Lot. Suppliers should clearly indicate in their response which Lot(s) they are tendering for, ensuring transparency and clarity in their proposal. * Lot 1 - Advanced Manufacturing * Lot 2 - Health and Life Sciences * Lot 3 - Digital and Creative The analysis will help to shape and develop future growth opportunities within the cluster areas, create a better understanding of their composition and provide insights for export, supply chain and inward investment activities within UKSPF funded activities (and beyond). Growth Platform has undertaken initial desk-based research and has collated a database of active companies for each cluster area. Each database includes details of individual company metrics, history and corporate structure, where available. By analysing these databases, we have identified companies that operate in multiple cluster areas. The finding from this initial desk-based research will be shared with the successful supplier to underpin further quantification of the economic impact of each cluster area. Additional information: Please fully read the ITT document before submitting a tender. Please ensure that you indicate in your response which Lot(s) you are tendering for and if you are VAT registered.
