Work with the Growth Hub: Invitation to Quote to Providers
The York & North Yorkshire Growth Hub is inviting providers to express interest in delivering two new business support programmes funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF). These initiatives aim to strengthen local business networks, improve resilience, and support growth across the region.
Workstream 1: Peer-to-Peer Support Programme
We are seeking providers to deliver structured peer-to-peer support cohorts for small businesses across York and North Yorkshire. These facilitated sessions will help participants share challenges, build confidence, and develop strategic insights in a non-competitive, supportive environment.
Topics may include: business planning, leadership, recruitment, energy efficiency, and net-zero.
Deadline: Monday 24th November 2025, 10:00
Workstream Code: SPF2025-26 P2P
Workstream 2: Mentoring Pilot Programme
We are also launching a pilot mentoring programme to match experienced business mentors with high-growth potential micro and small businesses. Providers will be responsible for recruiting, training, and matching participants, and delivering structured mentoring sessions.
Focus areas include: leadership development, market expansion, innovation, and cross-sector collaboration.
Deadline: Monday 24th November 2025, 10:00
Workstream Code: SPF2025-26 MPP
