description

Background and aims

Cumbria Chamber of Commerce has for the past seven years run the BSUS (Business Start-Up Support) project for Cumbria. We now require delivery of our three day start-up course in Barrow, Carlisle, Kendal, Penrith & Workington/Whitehaven looking at an April 2019 start for the next three years.

This course will operate as part of the wider start-up project, supporting start-up activity throughout Cumbria for new and young businesses in their first three years of trading. The BSUS programme is delivered by Cumbria Chamber of Commerce with funding anticipated from Allerdale Borough Council, Carlisle City Council, Copeland Borough Council, Eden District Council, South Lakeland District Council and the European Regional Development Fund.

Specific requirements

Our requirement is for an individual on a self-employed basis or an organisation to deliver a series of 3 day start-up courses, with each course covering as a minimum:

Business planning, sustainability and self-employment issues
Marketing, social media, promotion, sales and pricing
Bookkeeping, business banking and credit control

The first course in each area would need to be delivered during April 2019 with further courses approximately bi-monthly depending on demand until the end of the project which is expected to be March 2022.

You will be required to:

Design and deliver the course and provide any course materials, branded in line with Chamber and ERDF requirements
Ensure clients participating in the courses fully complete all relevant paperwork
Work with the Chamber to generate interest in attending the courses and engage people in signing up for support
Where appropriate to client needs refer into the wider support offer

Additional information: Submissions should be sent by email to Lesley Robinson lesleyr@cumbiachamber.co.uk marked 'Confidential - Tender Enclosed' to reach us by no later than 9am on Monday 25th March 2019 with the intention for successful/unsuccessful responses being sent week commencing 25th March 2019.

Clarifications:

Q: May I please clarify that:

bi-monthly means once every two months (i.e. eighteen workshops over three years) and not the rare, but possible meaning of twice a month; and contact details for referees, rather than references, are required at this stage.

A: Yes bi-monthly is every 2 months and contact details for referees please rather than full references.
