PR2025 - PEER NETWORKS PROGRAMME

Descriptions

The SEMLEP (South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership) Growth Hub is involved in a national peer-to-peer networking programme funded by BEIS for SME leaders that want to grow and develop their organisation for future success. This new programme, designed exclusively for ambitious SMEs, will see diverse cohorts of individuals from companies across the South East Midlands team up to collaboratively work through common business issues and develop a plan for your organisation to build for future success. SEMLEP is seeking to appoint a provider to deliver key elements of the Peer Network Programme including the facilitation of SME peer to peer groups. Peer Networks will form an important part of the Government's drive to improve productivity and deliver part of the economic response to the effect of COVID-19 on businesses. It will provide support to SMEs as they move into and through the Recovery phase of COVID-19 response. The aim is to improve SME's capability to adapt their business models to the "new normal", position themselves for future success and drive longer term productivity gains through improved leadership and management skills and technology adoption.
