Description

The Coventry & Warwickshire Reinvestment Trust (CWRT), a specialist finance and business support provider, has designed and developed a unique business support project that targets and assists small and new businesses from Warwickshire's creative sector to develop and grow. Entrepreneurs will learn how to develop new markets, enhance business skills and make more advanced use of digital technologies. This 'Creative Springboard Project' is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund.

CWRT is currently seeking professional services from a specialist workshop facilitator to update project workshop materials and deliver the Creative Springboard Project workshops across certain areas in Warwickshire. Initial areas of delivery are Leamington & Warwick and Stratford-Upon-Avon. Depending on client demand and need, CWRT will expand its services to areas across Warwickshire.

Duration of the initial contract period will be from June 2019 to December 2021 with the option to extend by up to a maximum additional 24 months. Delivery will be based on cohorts of typically five to six days of intensive workshops and typically 3 to 4 cohorts per year. Ongoing support will be provided via masterclasses combined with formal/ informal networking.

There is no guarantee of the number of days to be accessed through this project, however, it is estimated that the material development element of the contract is valued up to £11,600 for the 3 year period (estimated at 36 to 45 days) and the delivery element of the contract is valued up to £10,900 for the 3 year period (estimated at 29 to 36 days).
