The ERDF BSUS start- up project phase 2 (currently in development) is expected to assist individuals and groups looking to start in business and young businesses in their first three years of trading, following on from the current ERDF BSUS project offering training needs analyses/diagnostics, advice and training, tailored to client needs. The intention is that the Chamber will deliver in the Carlisle, Eden, Furness and South Lakeland areas. This will operate under the umbrella of Cumbria Business Growth Hub. As part of this we are looking to refresh our frameworks of experienced business advisers (individual advisers and/or specified individuals within an organisation), both generalist and specialist, to carry out business reviews/training needs analyses, develop action plans and deliver advice and coaching to businesses and/or potential start-ups in Cumbria. This will be a flexible pool of sub-contracted advisers, drawn on as needed depending on factors such as levels of demand, client needs and preferences, experience and specialisms. ## CPV classification Business and management consultancy and related services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/b7be9e49-adc8-11e6-9901-0019b9f3037b) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
