Liverpool City Region L E P awarded a contract to Flourish Coaching, Halton Chamber, Hey Strategy, Northern Automotive Alliance, Skills for Care, Think Philanthropy, Wirral Chamber, and Circle Leadership for the delivery of the Peer Network Programme, a national initiative aimed at reducing the UK productivity gap by helping business leaders find practical solutions to strategic and operational challenges.

The programme forms part of the UK Government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and EU transition, seeking to improve SME resilience, adaptability, and future success.

It targets 6,000 participants nationally in 2020-21, with the option to support up to 10,000 firms, spread across 38 LEPs.

The programme involves creating Peer Networks (cohorts) through the Growth Hub network, with each cohort consisting of 8-11 owners or managers from the Liverpool City Region SME business community.

Led by an experienced facilitator, these networks typically meet fortnightly, delivering 18 hours of action learning through online and potentially face-to-face sessions.

Additionally, each business receives 3.5 hours of individual one-to-one support (coaching, mentoring, or advice) to help implement changes.

The contract value is AUD 125,718.
