Description

GC Business Growth Hub (BGH) wishes to appoint a service provider for the delivery of specialist support to the Innovation Service. The service is directed at owners, directors and senior leaders that will develop their skills, knowledge and expertise to enable innovation within their business. The programme will target businesses that employ five or more staff and have the capacity to create jobs and increase turnover/sales.

The provider will be required to:
• Provide expertise in the specific topic area of Innovation and network/relationship building
• Mobilise their own networks to identify and recruit key experts/stakeholders
• Have a deep understanding of product/service development
• Commission web developers, designers and marketers
• Attend meetings and progress (where required) key expert, and stakeholder relationships to encourage collaboration and increase membership of the knowledge exchange.

A key deliverable for this programme is to establish collaborative partnerships between business and academia and as such we will be involving universities and research establishments where appropriate. We envisage that providers will have the necessary experience and skills in developing collaborative relationships and can demonstrate where they have developed similar networks or communities of innovators.
