The Cheshire & Warrington Growth Hub web site is found at [candwgrowthhub.co.uk](https://www.candwgrowthhub.co.uk). The service comprises a range of business advisory and grant awarding services to growth SMEs. To meet the needs of this service, Blue Orchid wishes to appoint a number of Generalist Growth Business Advisors to support local SMEs across Cheshire and Warrington in a range of disciplines. Advisors are expected to provide their own transport and technology (laptops, phones etc.) and be able to deliver across all of Cheshire and Warrington. This is a competitive tender and not an offer of employment. Please note: Blue Orchid has not yet been awarded ERDF funds and there is therefore no guarantee that there will be an award of a contract, as this service is dependent on securing ERDF funding. Please note, therefore that response to this submission is at the sole cost of the supplier. ## CPV classification Business and management consultancy and related services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/124a42ac-adc9-11e6-9901-0019b9f3037b) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
