Description

Southwark Council has established the Southwark Pioneers Fund (SPF) to invest in Southwark's entrepreneurs and micro-businesses. We want to help residents who aspire to start their own enterprise and support those who wish to grow their existing Southwark-based enterprises. A key focus of the fund is to support people from those groups who are typically under-represented in business. The Fund is primarily an enterprise support programme which includes grants. Enterprise support will be delivered via four separate agreements: i. Start-up Programme - Enterprises support for start-ups and aspiring entrepreneurs ii. Growth Programme - Enterprise support for later-stage enterprises focused on growth iii. Green Programme - Support for enterprises to decarbonise and reduce their environmental impact iv. Social and Community Programme - support for social and community enterprises, prioritising those led by people from minoritised backgrounds Southwark Council invites Tenders for the provision of the Southwark Pioneers Fund Start-Up and Growth programmes. Tenders may be submitted for either or both of the 2 Services. However a tenderer may only be awarded one of the 2 Services.
