What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Council, as Accountable Body for the Lancashire Growth Hub (Boost) is seeking to appoint suitably experienced Service Providers to deliver the Contracts for cohorts of Peer Networks between December 2022 and 30thSeptember 2023.

In total up to 30 cohorts will be delivered.

The Service Provider will deliver a Peer Network programme through the delivery of Action Learning Sessions, One to One Support and the associated administration, reporting, monitoring and delivery required for these.

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.
