Peer to Peer Network Programme

Tees Valley Combined Authority is using the Accelerated Open Procedure to appoint one or more providers to deliver key elements of the Peer Network Programme to support 264 participants and SMEs through the provisions of cohort groups, across the Tees Valley region.

Peer Networks is a national initiative that will be delivered locally through the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) network and their respective Growth Hubs.

The programme's longer-term aims are focused on reducing the UK productivity gap by helping business leaders find practical solutions to strategic and operational challenges.

It also forms part of the UK Government response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing EU transition, seeking to improve the resilience of SMEs, their capability to adapt their business models to the "new normal" and position themselves for future success, driving longer-term productivity gains.
