The brief

Lancashire County Council through its economic development company LCDL are seeking a marketing partner to work with them building and developing the Growth Hub in Lancashire (Boost Business Lancashire).

Through our unique partnership across the County, (bringing together key influential providers of growth enabling support) we seek a new, challenging and dynamic interpretation that will foster a paradigm shift in how business support is valued and taken up within Lancashire (12 LCC districts plus 2 unitary authorities).

We will build on the work already undertaken energising and refreshing the successful activity to date, and seeking to further engage with the talented, committed and growing business community in Lancashire.

The successful tenderer will add value to the Marketing Activities of the existing Growth Hub Delivery Partners, (to be separately procured, and will include Boost gateway service, growth mentoring and a growth start-up service) and has a specific aim of reaching a new audience of eligible SME's that have not previously engaged with public sector business support (as well as making sure that those that we currently engage with understand potential opportunities for further growth support to further accelerate their growing ambitions).

It is the Authority's intention to apply for ERDF funding and in the event of such funding not being secured the Authority will not be in a position to award the contract.
