It's that time of year where social media is filled with people sharing their goals or resolutions for the year.  Social media feeds are full of goal setting opportunities. Whether you’ve set goals or not its likely that you are looking to grow your business in 2019. 

Are you a therapist, counsellor, mentor or advisor who would like to work with children and young people?  

Do you want your grow your business in 2019?   

Do you want to work with a sector that pays over 99% of valid invoices within 10 working days (imagine the cashflow)? 

If you answered ‘yes’ to the above questions.  Have you considered securing public sector contracts to grow your business in 2019?   

I recently worked with a coach to secure two public sector contracts which will ensure his business grows in 2019 and beyond.   

To do this I met with coach to determine where his business was and, the direction he wants to take his business in the next year.  We then discussed how the public sector award contracts and, how he can position himself to win these contracts.   

Having carried out some research prior to meeting I was able to outline a contract that I felt his business was well fitted to bid for.  We also discussed further potential funding pots, held by local authorities, that his business may be able to access. 

Serdendity at work a second opportunity was quickly published.   

Both of these opportunities were tender opportunities advertised on the Public Contract Scotland web portal.  I drew up a summary of both tenders outlining the requirements of each contract, deadlines, value of contract, how the contract is administered and pertinent dates.  This ensured he was informed to decide whether to progress these opportunities or not.  He decided to submit each tender.   

Working closely, we discussed what information was required to be submitted and how this information should be presented.  We discussed how the service should be priced to remain competitive.  I was able to advise on both the process and the terminology used by the local authority.   

Both tenders were submitted, and he was successful in both and is looking forward to working with both local authorities in 2019 and beyond.   

If you are interested in learning about what contract opportunities with the public sector are out there for you get in touch.  We’d be happy to arrange a no-obligation call to discuss how you can use public sector contracts to grow your business in 2019.   

If you are a coach, mentor or advisor don’t delay because there is a current opportunity for you.
