Description
Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council is seeking to appoint suitably qualified consultants to support businesses primarily based in the business parks and town centres. The Framework for consultancy support for the programme is in 18 specialist areas.
Consultants can bid for work in one or more specialist areas (lots on this Framework). The lots will be broken down in the following areas of support.
Lot 1 Marketing Consultancy
Lot 2 Tendering and Bid Writing Consultancy
Lot 3 E-Commerce and Website Consultancy
Lot 4 Financial Management Consultancy
Lot 5 Quality Assurance Systems Consultancy
Lot 6 IT Projects Consultancy

Lot 14 LinkedIn for Business Consultancy

This support is demand-led. It is expected that around 148 businesses incorporating 87 premises based and 61 town centre based businesses in Knowsley may require some specialist support but the actual demand for each specialist area is not yet known. Delivery will be undertaken over a two year period. Therefore, due to the undeterminable level and nature of specialist support expected there can be no guarantee of any work under this framework, even for successfully appointed consultants.
This support is subject to final UKSPF approval.
