About

Birmingham City Council awarded a contract to Living Well UK for bespoke business support to at least 10 Birmingham-based social enterprises seeking access to health and med tech markets.

The pilot programme aimed to develop a base of regional SMEs and social enterprises with direct market access, enabling income generation, growth, and social and technical innovation while reducing grant dependency.

The provider was required to create a comprehensive initiative to improve tools, resources, and guidance for women-led and Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic businesses, facilitating access to an existing health/care consortium holding NHS and Birmingham City Council contracts.

Specific objectives included supporting new businesses in joining the consortium and delivering tailored support such as peer-to-peer mentoring and training, with a target of 5 businesses joining the consortium and accessing real market opportunities.

The contract value was £58,222.96.
