Description

The scope of the project is to seek a Service Provider to deliver a Scale-up Business Development Programme (SBDP) to assist owners, directors and senior leaders from Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) that shall develop their skills, knowledge and expertise to enable growth within their business.

The project is part of the Humber Business Growth Hub - Business Growth Scheme which is one of three schemes that has been approved under a response to competitive calls for European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) projects released by the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government for the 2014-2020 European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) Programme.

The Humber Business Growth Hub (HBGH) is part of the Humber LEP and provides quick and easy access to local and national resources along with information to support business to start, sustain and grow.

The Service Provider shall be expected to deliver high quality development activities to businesses across the whole of the Humber Geography.

It is intended for the SBDP to be recognised as a high impact programme of support and as such a sense of exclusivity should be created.

This shall be achieved through the calibre of providers and competitive application for businesses with focus being targeted on those businesses with the highest growth potential. The programme shall target businesses that employ 50 or more staff and have the capacity to create jobs and increase turnover/sales.

There is an overall target for this activity to engage and support a minimum of 60 businesses.
