What is being bought

Published requirement description

Funded by the DCMS, the Create Growth Programme (CGP) aims to stimulate investment into the creative industries (CI).

The CGP comprises three complementary strands:

A) business support targeted at the creative industries;

B) finance;

C) investor capacity-building activities.

The successful tenderer will be expected to deliver strand A (business support), and collaborate with Innovate UK on strand B (finance) and strand C (investor capacity building).

As such, the delivery partner should be able to demonstrate extensive experience of delivering business support activities for CIs, a track-record of securing investment funds from local, regional and national investment networks, and experience of working with the investor community to build capacity and confidence to invest in CI businesses.

What this means for your bid

Price carries 100 of 1000 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
