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 This procurement relates to the 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.

Lot Division

The primary aim of the Growth Programme is to support entrepreneurs who have been trading for some time and wish to grow, to develop their enterprise and achieve their growth ambitions.
