The provision should support the increase of new enterprises - sole trader, micro business, small and medium-sized enterprise, or large business and includes social enterprises. In order to promote growth and productivity in the city, we are particularly keen for the successful provider to encourage start-ups in growth sectors, e.g., tech, creative and digital and those emerging markets such as the green economy. Although the focus is on start-up, should residents supported decide that start up is not right for them, we expect the provider to support them onto other positive destinations, for example into employment, working closely with Wolves at Work.
