Peer Networks is a national initiative that is being delivered locally in England through the 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. It also forms part of the Government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing EU transition, seeking to improve the resilience of SMEs, their capability to adapt their business models to the "new normal" and position themselves for future success, driving longer-term productivity gains.

  • Recurrence: The Contract is available for up to 9 months with an option to extend for up to a further 12 months. Following which there is potential for the services to be continually required therefore there is potential (but not guarantee) for the Contract to be re-procured. Any re-procurement is at the discretion of the contracting authority and will be completed compliantly.
