    Brief

    Enterprising Cumbria is seeking qualified organisations to deliver business support diagnostic services to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Cumbria during the 2026/27 financial year. This Department for Business and Trade (DBT) funded programme aims to help SMEs achieve their growth ambitions by providing tailored diagnostic assessments. Diagnostics should address key government priorities including innovation, investment, skills development, net zero transition, and international trade. The contract operates on a pay-per-diagnostic basis, with payment made only for completed diagnostic sessions supported by valid documentation. Successful delivery requires the ability to identify and signpost businesses to appropriate follow-on support services at the conclusion of each diagnostic engagement. This is an excellent opportunity for business support professionals and organisations with expertise in SME development and growth advisory services.
