Growth Platform wishes to engage Brokerage Partners covering each of the 6 local authority areas of Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral. In addition, we are seeking a specialist broker to engage harder to reach groups including women, BAME groups and social economy businesses across the City Region.

A focus for Growth Platform going forward is the engagement of businesses that have not been engaged with the Local Growth Hub Service or its services previously in order to increase the reach of Local Growth Hubs and subsequently Growth Platform.

Suppliers will need to be able to flex and adapt to Growth Platform’s and Local Authority Growth Directors responses to Covid-19 should these alter throughout the duration of the contract. We would expect the successful suppliers to liaise and work with Local Authority Growth Directors and Economic Development teams in their contracted areas to ensure they are aligned with local priorities.
