The aim of the Supply Chain Transition (IZ) Programme is to help manufacturing businesses in the West Midlands to diversify their customer base and win new orders in growing areas of the local economy (as defined in the WMCAs ‘Plan for Growth’).
They will achieve this by working with a dedicated Delivery Partner (the successful supplier), who will provide one-to-one technical coaching on how to improve business performance, create action plans detailing the steps required to achieve growth and deliver training programmes in change management. The Delivery Partner will also be responsible for distributing grant funding. These grants will be used as a contribution towards the costs associated with the research and development projects identified in the action plans, focusing on helping supported businesses to transition into new supply chains.
