This project, which is part-funded by the ERDF, includes working with other delivery partners in Cheshire & Warrington to support new, small businesses to grow and thrive. The provision may include master-classes, workshops, seminars, and one-to-one sessions with SMEs, but the College would welcome innovative suggestions to include the latest technologies and delivery channels. ### Benefits The project is contractually obliged to achieve a minimum number of companies assisted; however the College requires that the project has maximum impact within the sector - adding many new jobs and adding value and expertise to the Cheshire & Warrington SME community. ### Target audience Access to the project’s services is fully-funded, but small firms will need to meet certain terms and conditions to be eligible. These include - being under 3½ years old or in a start-up phase - being based within the Cheshire & Warrington LEP (Council) boundaries; and - having fewer than 250 staff. Please note that farming and growing as such are not eligible for support; nor is retail activity such as internet sales or farm shops. However business-to-business (wholesale) selling, for example a new food processed by and SME to meet the needs of catering companies near Leeds, would be eligible. ### Collaboration We are looking to work here with a collaborative, responsive and creative enterprise, where there are learning and growth dialogues at all stages. ### Success Critical to the success of this project is the generation of an appropriate number of high-quality eligible business leads and potential outputs in a manner which enhances the reputation of the College and supports future long-term relationships. ### Deliverables As part of the VFM evaluation, please describe and cost as standalone exercises how you would - run a short campaign to generate business leads including 700x A5 unstamped postcards; - design and dress an outdoor exhibition stand; and - prepare a project executive member and a beneficiary for a vblog interview. ### Budget The budget over two years for this element of the project is £21,500 including applicable VAT.
