81872 GLA - Business Support Navigator

The COVID-19 crisis has hugely impacted London's small businesses, which are critical for the capital's economic success. As a result, the Mayor of London is prioritising SME support to help small businesses rebuild, recover and thrive in the wake of the COVID-19 Pandemic, and resulting changes implemented since Brexit.

The GLA is investing in new small business support for recovery, development and growth. The Greater London Authority (GLA) is seeking to appoint an organisation to provide: • Two first-line Business Support Navigators who will deliver a pilot programme of support to London Based SMEs in specific boroughs on behalf of the London Business Hub. The service to be provided will include diagnostic assessment and brokerage of services, referral and handover to the most appropriate delivery partner in the market providing the services needed (where appropriate). • Project coordinator/administration support for the programme.
