CWC23094 - Invitation to Tender for the provision of UKSPF (UK Shared Prosperity Fund) Start-up Support

Tender description

The council are now looking to commission a contract for the provision of start-up support that targets Wolverhampton residents to engage and access skills that will provide them with the right foundations to prepare, start and ensure the survival of their business. The provision should support the increase of new enterprises - sole trader, micro business, small and medium-sized enterprise, or large business and includes social enterprises. In order to promote growth and productivity in the city, we are particularly keen for the successful provider to encourage start-ups in growth sectors, e.g., tech, creative and digital and those emerging markets such as the green economy. Although the focus is on start-up, should residents supported decide that start up is not right for them, we expect the provider to support them onto other positive destinations, for example into employment, working closely with Wolves at Work. This contract is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-shared-prosperity-fund-prospectus
