04Consultancy contracts: common questions
How many consultancy tenders are live in the South West?
12 right now, from 12 public buyers, with 5 closing in the next 14 days. We bring together notices from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder and refresh this page every hour.
What do buyers ask for in consultancy contracts?
Few notices state a minimum turnover; it is usually set out in the tender documents. Most requirements sit in the tender documents rather than the notice, so check the pack before you bid.
Can a small business win consultancy contracts?
Often, yes. 8 of the 12 live tenders in the South West are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 4 are frameworks or dynamic purchasing systems (approved supplier lists that buyers then order from). Smaller lots and lower-value contracts are usually the best place to start. Check the minimum turnover and insurance first, as those are the checks that rule most bids out.
05Expert notes: Professional services
Professional services are often bought through frameworks and evaluated mainly on quality: named staff, case studies and method statements. Professional indemnity insurance levels are a common pass/fail check.
