## Notice

We are inviting proposals from experienced suppliers, for the delivery of a short pilot Business growth programme (January to March 2023), aimed at attracting a minimum of 5 Clackmannanshire businesses and another minimum 3 outwith Clackmannanshire with potential to encourage the latter 5 to set up or relocate their business in Clackmannanshire. These businesses will have ambition to grow. Some of the aims of the programme are to identify and remove barriers to growth, build capacity and capability in these businesses, produce a growth strategy, investigate funding options, and ultimately deliver a programme which will increase jobs within those businesses taking part. We want to develop more focused links between the participating businesses and local employability programmes, to ensure local residents are considered and have opportunities to apply for newly created posts within those businesses.
