About

Greater Manchester Combined Authority awarded a contract to Little Lion Research Ltd for the evaluation of OPEN SME delivery for Phase II of the GM leadership programme for SMEs.

The evaluation assessed the extent to which 2024/25 delivery met the strategic aims of MMU's OPEN SME Phase 2 delivery plan—enlarge, extend, enhance, engage, and empower OPEN SME users through site content and functionality developments.

It provided the MMU team with evidence on what OPEN SME content to refresh or redesign and what material could be added.

The evaluation generated data comparable to previous evaluations to describe and assess OPEN SME's evolution, assessed OPEN SME's integration with other business support services in Greater Manchester, and filled knowledge gaps on engaging GM SMEs in leadership and management training and the impact of support on SMEs' economic performance.

The contract value was AUD 48,500.
