II.2.4) Disgrifiad o’r caffaeliad
The successful delivery of Business Gateway requires a range of general and specialist business support services, so it is expected that the contractor will lead a team that will provide a range of expert services.
The detailed requirements of each of the three core Business Gateway services are set out in the Specification. The successful contractor will comply with them, with a particular focus on maintaining new business registration numbers, including Early Stage Growth and the provision of support to assist with the growth and sustainability of existing businesses within Inverclyde, particularly those businesses on the Growth Advisory Service. The contractor will also be expected to engage in other economic development activities, such as the promotion of community benefits, employability projects and events, and targeted business advice to priority sectors.
The contractor will be expected to keep the CRM system up to date.
The contractor will be expected to participate in local advertising and promotion, which may include talks to local business forums, including the Chamber of Commerce.
The council is striving to provide a convenient service to its clients and is seeking to minimise the possible disruption with the need to travel to seek Business Gateway services. A Business Gateway office will help promote a strong brand presence in the market. It is therefore a requirement that the contractor be based locally within a central area of Inverclyde.
