## Summary

This initiative aims to offer leadership training to owners, directors, and senior leaders of businesses employing five or more staff in the North West of England, with the programme running from August 2017 to June 2018.

Successful providers will be expected to provide high-quality training across Greater Manchester, supporting a minimum of 100 businesses and incentivising them to create jobs within six months of completing the programme.

This tender presents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in business and management consultancy services, particularly those with experience in leadership development and training.
