As the organisations accessing support via this Framework have different needs, the services provided must be offered flexibly. This includes, but is not limited to, face to face, digitally, by phone and one to one at suitable times and locations. The Framework is made up of 10 Lots as detailed below and aligned to the specialist area of business support to be provided. Please note funding totaling 1.9m GBP is currently confirmed for the first two years of the Framework. This therefore represents the estimated minimum total Framework value. Should funding equal to this initial value be subsequently secured this will be used to deliver years three and four respectively and aligns with the higher maximum value noted in II.1.5 Lot 1- Business Structuring Lot 2 - Business Growth Lot 3 - Leadership, Skills and Resource Lot 4 - Business Financial Management Lot 5 - Design Thinking and Innovation Lot 6 - Sales and Marketing Lot 7 -Internationalisation Lot 8 - Digital Lot 9 - Green Business Support Lot 10 - Business Acceleration ## Lots (10) ### Lot 1: Business Structuring - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 66519310, 72221000, 72224000, 79400000, 79410000, 79411000 - **Delivery regions:** UKM - **Description:** The Business Structuring Lot will provide specialist consultancy support to help determine the assignment and coordination of roles, power and responsibilities and define how information flows between the different levels of management within a busin... - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 2: Business Growth - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 72221000, 72224000, 79410000, 79411000, 79411100, 79418000 - **Delivery regions:** UKM - **Description:** The Business Growth Lot will provide specialist consultancy support to identify areas of improvement processes which help to improve some measure of an organisations success.
