Tender description
The Authority is seeking to appoint one or two providers to deliver the provision of a business startup enterprise programme. Local London is commissioning the delivery of the Business Start-Up Enterprise Support Programme. The programme aims to support 350 economically inactive residents to explore or set up sustainable small businesses. It will particularly target those furthest from the labour market, providing flexible pathways to financial independence. This Business Start-Up Enterprise Support Programme is designed to tackle these barriers by providing tailored business start-up advice, mentoring, and practical tools.
