Humber Peer Networks Programme

Tender description

Peer Networks is a national initiative that is being delivered locally through the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) network and their respective Growth Hubs. The programme’s longer-term aims are focused on reducing the UK productivity gap by helping business leaders find practical solutions to strategic and operational challenges. The LEP is now seeking to appoint a provider to deliver the Peer Network Programme for businesses based in the Humber (Hull, East Riding, North and North East Lincolnshire). Hull City Council, on behalf of the Humber LEP’s Business Growth Hub, wishes to commission the delivery of a series of Peer Networks (6 cohorts), with each cohort consisting of 11 owners or managers from the SME business community participating in each cohort . Additional individual 1-2-1 support (coaching, mentoring, or advice) will also be provided. Programme participants will benefit from both access to a professional action learning facilitator and 1-2-1 support outside of the group sessions. Importantly, the content of the sessions is driven by the participants from a list of key themes and can be tailored to focus on their specific needs, including wider issues that may be affecting their sector, locality, or business model.
