    Description

    East Riding of Yorkshire Council (ERYC) and Hull City Council (HCC) have been allocated funds through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) to support us in the development of our local businesses. This support consists of various services including, 1-2-1 adviser and specialist support, access to various resources, financial assistance, as well as workshops and events.

    As part of this model, we are wanting to develop further the support for organisations within the social business sector. These are businesses with social aims and objectives who undertake, or are planning to undertake, income generating activity from commercial operations, which is then reinvested into their social business.
    We recognise that this sector has different needs to the general business stock in the areas and are therefore looking to procure a sector specialist to work with social enterprises in both Hull and East Yorkshire on our behalf.

    The ultimate aim of the programme is to support and enable more social enterprises, to:
    • Be financially robust and able to face the future
    • Take advantage of opportunities for growth
    • Access a wider range of markets and opportunities
    • Develop new products and services
    • Develop their assets
    • Increase employment opportunities and manage volunteers more effectively.

    The work is expected to include, but not be limited to:
    • Pre start advice
    • Advice on legal structures,
    • Strengthening governance.
    • Business and financial planning including access to finance
    • Developing income streams
    • Development of new products and services

    Areas of support provided may include:
    • Overcoming barriers to growth
    • Managing people performance
    • Succession planning
    • Systems and processes
    • Identifying and responding to new markets
    • Social impact and measuring social return on investment.
    • Asset development

    The programme will involve delivery of activity to engage and support a minimum of 30 Social Enterprises (15 Hull, 15 East Riding), with each receiving a minimum of 12 hours of support of which a minimum of 6hrs must be 1-2-1 support, including initial diagnostic and action planning activity, this must be followed up by a Final Review after the completion of the 12hrs of support. All activity will need to be recorded and signed off by the social enterprise receiving the support.

    We are wanting to work with a responsive, adaptable partner organisation(s) or individual(s) to deliver this support on our behalf.
    We are looking for tender responses to include a clear delivery model and how you would identify need and support social enterprises through the journey.

    Please see the attachments for further details.

    Questions about the specification should be directed to the Business Support team via business.support@eastriding.gov.uk by noon Wednesday 8th May 2024.
