    West Midlands Social Economy Business Support – Contract and Investment Readiness
    Enterprise Nation is partnering with Birmingham Enterprise Community to deliver the Contract and Investment Readiness programme, funded by the UK Government and West Midlands Combined Authority Commonwealth funds.

    These FREE programmes, delivered by Enterprise Nation and Birmingham Enterprise Community, are designed to support social economy organisations in the West Midlands to either secure public sector contracts or social investment for their business.

    Participants will choose to either take part in the Contract Readiness or Investment Readiness programme, both of which will take course over five weeks, offering support provided by Birmingham Enterprise Community.

    Contract Readiness
    Participants will learn how to win contracts in the public sector and unlock additional revenue and connections for their business. Participants will learn how to write successful bids and deliver on public-sector contracts, connect with providers to build key relationships and opportunities, and accelerate business expansion.

    Investment Readiness
    Participants will focus on looking at how to secure investment and gain access to financial support to reach a new level of growth. Participants will connect with providers to build key relationships and gain new opportunities.

    The deadline to apply is 1st of May. Applicants will be notified on 8th of May, with training commencing for Investment Readiness on 15th of May and training commencing for Contract Investment 3rd July.
