Description

GC Business Growth Hub wishes to appoint a provider to enter into a contract to design, develop and maintain the delivery of a web-based mentoring platform.

GC Business Growth Hub is looking to work closely with a creative and strategic development partner to reinforce our commitment to digital transformation and can either be based "On Shore" within the UK or "Off Shore" development practices.

Since 2012 the GC BGH Mentoring Programme has collaborated with a number of organisations and programmes to support the development of mentor networks and create an appetite for business mentoring for local, regional and national project work.

To date this includes:

• The creation of 700+ mentoring relationships with a matching success rate of 95%
• A bank of 200+ business mentors who volunteer their time to mentor Greater Manchester SME businesses
• 4 Mentoring Programmes running concurrently: BGH Mentoring Programme for microbusinesses and SMES, Mentoring programme for tech sector start-ups, The NatWest Entrepreneur Accelerator and Be the Business national roll-out: Mentoring for Growth

To support future growth and scale up of the GC Business Growth Hub mentoring programme we require an online portal to streamline and make efficiencies in our operations and administration yet retain all the successful elements of existing GC BGH mentoring programs
