In plain English

Argyll and the Isles Coast and Countryside Trust wants an outside provider to write a business plan for the organisation. The work combines business planning with market research and involves working through options with staff over several rounds. The estimated value is £12,500.

What the buyer wants

• Produce a business plan for the Trust • Carry out market research to inform the plan • Work in repeated rounds with staff to discuss options, refine them and develop the final plan

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list any specific disqualifiers, but it does require business planning and market research skills and the ability to work with staff through several rounds of refinement, so a supplier without that experience would likely struggle to compete.

Always check the tender documents.
