Establishment of Dynamic Purchasing System for Activity Providers and Coaches to Deliver EnterprisingYou Programme

About

THE BUSINESS GROWTH HUB LIMITED awarded a contract to Over 40 Framework Suppliers for the establishment of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to procure providers for the delivery of EnterprisingYou, a support programme for Greater Manchester residents aged 18 and over who are self-employed or working in the gig economy with a gross personal income below £27,000 per annum.

The DPS operates in two stages: providers are approved to enter the framework, and then activity submitted by approved providers is approved for delivery.

Approved providers can submit multiple applications for activity until 1 October 2021.

Activity focuses on training and personal development to help clients develop vocational skills, business skills, or personal effectiveness, and can be delivered on a consultative, group, or digital basis, either as a rolling programme or bespoke.

The activity aims to support clients in making their businesses more efficient, sustainable, and profitable, and may also support health or wellbeing to underpin business performance.

Activity must not be a licence to practice and should be delivered in Greater Manchester by Greater Manchester-based providers, unless unique or niche provision is unavailable locally.

Each client is expected to access on average no more than three separate instances of activity, with variable total value and time, requiring a range of price options.

The contract value is AUD 1,000,000.
