Description

The London Borough of Harrow (LBH) has secured funding through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) Open Call to deliver a Supply Ready project in Harrow.

LBH is inviting tenders from suitably qualified and experienced organisations for:

I. The delivery of a business programme to train, develop and support Harrow businesses to be able to compete for tenders with LBH, thereby enabling them to also compete for other public sector contracts. The programme required through this tender needs to offer a package of flexible, interactive and responsive support aimed at improving the knowledge, skills and application of local businesses to bid for and win contracts; explaining how to identify potential tender opportunities, what to include in tender submissions and how to write a bid for the best chance of success. The deliverer is also required to capture pipeline and supply chain opportunities to highlight to businesses.

II. To gather and collate details of businesses, their offer of works, goods or services, and input them into a platform. The aim of this is to increase local spend by raising awareness of local businesses with LBH and other public sector bodies, for opportunities under £100k, that do not require a full tender process. It is also to allow business to business opportunities and new supply chain opportunities.

Please refer to "Specification - Supply Ready UKSPF", available for download via the London Tenders Portal for further detail.
