This procurement process falls under the open method and has now transitioned past the tender period, which closed on 4th August 2017. The services sought are primarily classified under business and management consultancy as well as other community and business-related services and will require involvement from August 2017 until at least November 2018, with potential for extension. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in community engagement, policy support, and strategic advisory services, especially those with a strong footprint in the Liverpool City Region. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can demonstrate geographical reach and the capacity to foster economic inclusion initiatives would be well-positioned to compete. Firms that can align their services with local authority ambitions and contribute to community outreach will likely find themselves favoured in this competitive process. ## Notice We are seeking Strategic Partner bodies to join the Enterprise Hub. Strategic Partners are invited from organisations that can provide strategic engagement and policy support, contribute to local democratic accountability and governance and provide a minimum of 60% match, and up to 100% contribution to support service implementation. The total eligible budget available is up to PS1.5 million. The programme is supported by European Regional Development Fund. Enterprise Hub expect to offer Partnership arrangements to between 2 and 10 organisations as a result of this invitation process. Support activities will be required from August 2017 - 30th November 2018 (with a possible extension to March 2019 if the EU Programme is extended at a later date).
