Description

ENTERPRISE ACTION is a three-year European Regional Development Funded (ERDF) project designed to support local entrepreneurs to start up their own businesses across a wide geographical area that includes the Black Country and the Marches LEP areas of the West Midlands. The programme will additionally target potential higher growth businesses of less than 2 years old, which will benefit from targeted fast track support and financial assistance to achieve product commercialisation.

The requirements of Enterprise Action can be apportioned into 2 lots:

Lot 1 - Delivery of 2 day business assists
This lot will be awarded to a maximum of 6 suppliers subject to call off which will be through a mini competition.

Lot 2 - Delivery of business development workshops
This lot will be awarded to a maximum of 6 suppliers subject to tender evaluation ranking and business areas workshops can be provided in.

The University is looking for additional suppliers to be awarded onto this framework after an initial tender (16-76) was carried out, as an increased number of business consultants and workshop providers are needed to fulfill this requirement.
