The procurement method is an open procedure (below threshold), with the tender period ending on 16th June 2023. The contract period is scheduled to run from 3rd July 2023 to 29th February 2024 in Sandwell, West Midlands, United Kingdom. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses to provide entrepreneurial training services to support start-up businesses in Sandwell. Businesses offering intensive short-term business courses and marketing support are well-suited to compete. The Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council is the buying authority managing this procurement process, emphasising the significance of enterprise skills and support for new and established businesses in the region. ## Notice The following quotation is to provide entrepreneurial training in terms of an intensive short-term introduction to business course which is accessible to participants. It would begin by a series of marketing and promotion of the business course helping to recruit participants or pre-start-up business clients as attendees. A launch event will form part of the training activity to induct attendees and to promote how Sandwell is supporting it's Start Up Businesses - "Sandwell Home of the Successful Start Up". Each participant should receive an initial diagnostic and meeting to determine the level of course required. For businesses already established a minimum of 2 hours intensive support should be provided. For new businesses or businesses yet to being trading there should be a minimum of two weeks of informal business focussed training with the aim of increasing Sandwell participants awareness of entrepreneurship, and enterprise skills. As some residents may also be working full -time flexibility should be offered to allow attendance to the support available. We would expect training provision to take place in person for the most part, but we are mindful that a back-up option for online delivery may be necessary if there are public health grounds to do so (for example a spike in the rate of covid 19). The courses are to be based in Sandwell.
