Enterprising Cumbria will co-ordinate the delivery of Department for Business and Trade (DBT) funded business support activity across Cumbria, ensuring that this meets the needs of our businesses and supports their growth. The focus of business support will be on supporting SMEs to achieve their growth ambitions moving forward. In delivering diagnostic sessions and follow on sessions, the appointed organisations will be required to consider the key themes and priorities as identified by DBT and Government, which will include but is not limited to innovation, investment, skills, net zero and international trade. The contract will operate on the basis of pricing per 'unit', with the appointed organisations or individuals being paid a unit price for the delivery of the contract. Payment will only be made for the number of Assists provided to businesses and subject to the provision of valid and completed paperwork. Delivery of account management support will focus on signposting to wider ecosystem support rather than providing 1-1 or group coaching directly through this support.
