In plain English

Tewkesbury Borough Council wants a provider to deliver a two-year business support service for advanced engineering and manufacturing firms across Gloucestershire. The work runs from 30 November 2026 to 31 March 2028 and is worth £160,000, delivered through the county's Growth Hub network.

What the buyer wants

• Tailored growth support for local manufacturers, including business diagnostics (structured health checks of a firm's performance) and practical action plans. • Referrals to other support services, outreach to find businesses that could benefit, and sector events. • Work aimed at improving productivity, innovation, skills, resilience and competitiveness in the sector, with the provider working alongside the wider Growth Hub network.

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

A business without a proven track record of delivering business growth or advisory work to manufacturers, or without the capacity to deliver across Gloucestershire over the full contract period, would most likely be excluded.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
