This procurement falls under the business services industry, specifically focusing on law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. The tender process is currently active, with a deadline for submissions set for 25 October 2021. The estimated contract value is £180,000, and the contract is intended to commence on 1 November 2021, lasting until 31 March 2022. The procurement method is classified as an open procedure below threshold, enabling a wide range of participants to apply. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) interested in delivering cohort groups that support local SMEs through the Peer Network Programme. Entities with expertise in business development, training, and community engagement would find this project particularly suitable. The successful providers will contribute to creating robust support networks for growth and sharing best practices within the region, positioning them as key players in driving economic development in the local area. ## Notice The Cornwall Development Company (CDC) via the Cornwall & Isles of Scilly (CIOS) Growth & Skills Hub is seeking to appoint providers to deliver key elements of the Peer Network Programme. This is expected to support the growth of at least a specified number of participants and SMEs, through the provisions of cohort groups, across the CIOS LEP area. CDC will commission up to 12 (twelve) individual cohorts/peer networks. Applications are invited by those who are seeking to deliver between one and all twelve cohorts. The provider(s) will need to clearly demonstrate in their tender response how they will meet the required deliverables within the available budget and timescales. The programme will be supported by a Playbook - a user handbook to aid the successful roll-out and implementation of the programme (see Enclosure 5). It aims to provide a common resource to support local delivery partners and will help ensure there is a suitable level of national consistency in how the programme is delivered, whilst allowing for a degree of local flexibility as appropriate. The relevant information will be provided to the successful provider(s). For more information please see the Invitation to Tender and supporting documents.
