Description

The Wordsworth Trust is inviting tenders from suitably qualified individuals and organisations to undertake a full business review. The business review will give the Wordsworth Trust a roadmap to a more secure future, leaving it better able to use its heritage assets to enrich people's lives through Wordsworth's poetry.

The outcome will be a written report containing the following:

1. Detailed analysis of current and future operating context
2. Proposed operating model and organisational structure
3. Recommended areas of focus, covering programming, commercial development and asset management
4. Workforce training/professional development plan to address skills-development needs identified as part of the project
5. Annual profit-and-loss forecasts for the five full financial years following completion of the review
6. Key performance indicators, incorporated into a data dashboard

The report will frame the above as a series of short, medium and long-term recommendations, with a detailed action plan for each recommendation, including rationale, timescale and responsibility/resources required.

Details of how to apply are enclosed in the brief, which is attached to this notice.
