Enterprise, Entrepreneurship and Business Start-up Support

TENDER DESCRIPTION

The North East MSA is seeking proposals for the design, mobilisation and delivery of an integrated programme to provide a coordinated pathway supporting individuals from the earliest stages of considering self-employment or entrepreneurship through to business start-up, early trading and progression into wider business support provision as part of the Business North East offer. The service is intended to support the creation of sustainable new businesses across the North East and contribute towards increased entrepreneurial activity, higher business start-up rates and improved business survival rates. Delivery should support the MSA's objective of ensuring that enterprise support is visible, accessible and responsive to all communities and places across the region. The programme is expected to operate across all seven local authority areas and form an integral part of the wider Business North East ecosystem, working closely with the regional hub, local authority spokes and wider partner organisations to ensure participants can access the support most appropriate to their needs.
