How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a brief notice only — the real detail is in the full tender documents on MultiQuote. Register immediately to access the full specification, timescales, budget, and evaluation criteria.
- 2Watch for whether they want training delivery, one-to-one mentoring, online resources, workshops, or a mix — the full tender will specify the format they need.
- 3Look for the contract duration, number of learners to be supported, and any performance metrics (e.g., how many learners must complete the programme or start a business).
- 4Check if they want you to work exclusively with their college or if you can deliver to other organisations at the same time.
- 5Identify the budget and whether it's fixed-price, daily rate, or cost-reimbursable — this affects how you price your bid.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're an enterprise trainer or business mentor, this is your core service — bid directly. If you're smaller, consider partnering with a larger training provider or enterprise network as a subcontractor to access the opportunity.
- Look for 'social value' scoring in the tender — colleges often award points for supporting disadvantaged learners, regional employment, or local supply chain — highlight any experience you have here.
- Check whether the college expects you to track and report on learner outcomes (e.g., number of business plans completed, start-ups created). Make sure you have systems in place or factor reporting time into your costs.
