Finding public sector consulting tenders

what to check before bidding

Start with the problem the buyer wants solved. Policy research, commercial assurance, financial advice and project delivery need different experience. This market also includes insurance and other professional services, so check the work before deciding whether it suits your consultancy.

Read the brief for deliverables, named specialist roles, required experience and any independence requirements. Check whether the buyer wants advice, a team to deliver the work, or both. For example, Westminster's highways contract asks for an independent supplier to audit performance and costs as well as provide technical and asset-management advice.
