Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This is a specialist business advisory contract, not a trade or construction service: you will need proven experience in business mentoring, coaching, or enterprise development rather than a traditional trade skillset. Most tradespeople would be unsuitable unless they have formal business support credentials.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
