Provision of Business Advice, Workshops and Live Webinars to Support the Growth of Small and Medium Enterprises

This Invitation to Tender is for the Business Support element (predominantly a mix of face to face (one to many) workshops, live webinars (one to many) and one to one business growth mentoring) of the South East Business Boost 2020 programme, to be fully managed, administered and delivered throughout local authority boundaries of Southend, Essex & Thurrock.

The South East Business Boost programme ("SEBB") offers fully funded professional support to enable the growth of eligible small to medium enterprises ("SMEs") across the South East Local Enterprise Partnership ("SELEP").

Due to the successful delivery of SEBB between 2017 and 2020 ("SEBB 2017"), further monies from the European Regional Development Fund ("ERDF") have been secured, enabling an extension of this excellent business support programme for delivery of the programme to continue until the 30 September 2022.
