The programme falls under the services category and aims to support start-up businesses and SMEs in Wales with high growth potential. The procurement stage is in the award phase, with a contract already signed with Winning Pitch as the lead contractor. The contract period is from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2020, with annual break clauses included. The total contract value is £26,685,860. This tender presents an opportunity for SMEs and businesses with expertise in supporting high-growth enterprises to compete for providing business support services in Wales. The successful contractor will need to demonstrate the capabilities to work with start-ups and SMEs, delivering support in various sectors. Consortia bids are encouraged, and workshops will be held to assist potential bidders in joint bidding opportunities. Notably, the project is subject to European Funding approval, with the contract value dependent on service demand, offering a potential for long-term business growth and collaboration. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Welsh Ministers are seeking to engage with quality providers to deliver a key segment of their support to start-up businesses and Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs), typically trading up to 7 years (exceptions will be considered beyond this limit), that have high growth aspirations and potential. The successful contractor will be expected to work with a range of start ups and existing SMEs within Wales. The ratio of start ups to existing SMEs supported will be in the region of 30/70. Welsh Government business support will be capped (amount to be confirmed) and support over and above this level will attract a fee. Tenderers will need to evidence how this will be achieved The Accelerated Growth Programme will be delivered through one lead contractor on a pan Wales basis, who will need to demonstrate that they have the skill sets and resources required to support high growth SMEs and start-ups in all sectors. It is intended that the contract period will run from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2020. Annual break clauses will be included in the contract which may be exercised for non contractual compliance, reduction in Welsh Government budgetary allocation, change in service direction/policy or any other reason deemed appropriate by the Welsh Ministers to exercise the break clause. Please note that consortia bids are encouraged for this tender exercise. Please refer to www.wales.gov.uk/jointbidding for advice and assistance on joint bidding. Furthermore, it is the intention of Welsh Government to host a workshop to provide support and guidance to potential tenderers on joint bidding opportunities. Support for potential consortium members will be provided by the Wales Cooperative Centre. Please note that this project is subject to European Funding approval. Funding has therefore only been approved for the first year of the contract term. Please also note that the value is indicative only and is dependant on demand for the service which cannot be guaranteed. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=132076 | | Notice type | OJEU - F20 - Modification Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 May 2023 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £26,685,860 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LLYWODRAETH CYMRU / WELSH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | CAERDYDD / CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF10 3NQ | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Cathays | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff South and Penarth | | Delivery location | TLL Wales | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | WINNING PITCH | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ## Release History - 5 Jun 2023 at 00:00 - AwardUpdate - OJEU - F20 - Modification Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=132076 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN439737 Business Wales Accelerated Growth Programme ## Notice URLs - https://api.sell2wales.gov.wales/v1?lang=cy/Notice?id=ocds-kuma6s-132076 - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
