Description

The Business Growth Hub (BGH) wishes to appoint a panel of up to 10 service providers to enter into a Framework Contract for the delivery of leadership development to owners, directors and senior leaders that will develop their skills, knowledge and expertise to enable growth 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.

Programme delivery (12 hours of support element) is from August 2017 through to June 2018 with an overall target to engage and support a minimum of 100 businesses.

The successful suppliers will be expected to deliver high quality training/development across Greater Manchester. These suppliers will form part of a framework of providers and will be called off by the BGH to work with named executives from eligible businesses.

Providers will be expected to identify and refer eligible business to BGH. Businesses will also be referred to the programme from alternative sources. All businesses regardless of referral source will be required to complete the application process and meet ERDF and growth criteria. Programme-specific growth criteria include the creation of at least one full-time equivalent (36 hours per week or more) job within six months of completing the programme.

A supplier is not guaranteed to be called off to work with a business, regardless of the referral source.
