Published requirement description

Southwark Council has established the Southwark Pioneers Fund (SPF) to invest in Southwark’s entrepreneurs and micro-businesses. This is to help residents who aspire to start their own enterprise and support those who wish to grow their existing Southwark-based enterprises. A key focus of the fund is to support people from those groups who are typically under-represented in business.

The Fund is primarily an enterprise support programme which includes grants. This award relates to 2 parts of the programme

i. Start-up Programme - Enterprises support for start-ups and aspiring entrepreneurs

ii. Growth Programme - Enterprise support for later-stage enterprises focused on growth

CPV: Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security

Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: 70
  • Price: 30
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
