Specialist Consultancy Framework (UK Shared Prosperity Fund)

Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council is seeking to appoint suitably qualified consultants to support businesses primarily based in the business parks and town centres. The Framework for consultancy support for the programme is in 18 specialist areas. Consultants can bid for work in one or more specialist areas (lots on this Framework). The lots will be broken down in the following areas of support;

Lot 1 Marketing Consultancy
Lot 2 Tendering and Bid Writing Consultancy
Lot 3 E-Commerce/Website Consultancy
Lot 4 Financial Management Consultancy
Lot 5 Quality Assurance Systems Consultancy
Lot 6 IT Projects Consultancy
Lot 7 Management and Business Strategy Consultancy
Lot 8 HR Consultancy
Lot 9 Health and Safety Consultancy
Lot 10 Social Media Strategy Consultancy

Lot 14 LinkedIn for Business Consultancy
Lot 15 Facebook for Business Consultancy
Lot 16 Tik Tok for Business Consultancy

This support is demand-led. It is expected that around 148 businesses incorporating 87 premises based and 61 town centre based businesses in Knowsley may require some specialist support but the actual demand for each specialist area is not yet known.

Delivery will be undertaken over a two-year period. Therefore, due to the undeterminable level and nature of specialist support expected there can be no guarantee of any work under this framework, even for successfully appointed consultants.

This support is subject to final UKSPF approval.
