Likely requirements

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

This role requires senior strategic communications expertise, not a trade or technical service; most small construction, cleaning, or electrical businesses would be completely unsuitable. The £250k budget and nature of the work indicates the buyer wants an established communications agency or senior consultant, not a tradesperson.
