The London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, in partnership with Branduin Business Support, have commisioned a fully-funded business engagement, skills training, and mentoring support package for SMEs based in the Borough.

The Fit To Bid® programme offers a combination of Engage With Procurement and Meet The Buyer events, skills workshops and 1-2-1 tender advice sessions – with numerous benefits including business growth, the creation of new and better-paid jobs for residents, and building community wealth.

The programme enables growth by maximising the capability of local businesses to engage with key buyers in H&F Council Procurement, Education, Adult Social Care, Green & Circular Economy, Tier-1 & Tier-2 buyers, and local transport and infrastructure hubs.

This confidential Online Bid Capability Assessment Questionnaire is designed to inform us, and ultimately you, on how well your company is equipped to formally bid for work through Invitations to Tender (ITTs) or their equivalents e.g. Requests for Proposals (RFPs).

Responses to the questionnaire will feedback into the workshops and 1-2-1 tender advice sessions. The information received will be held by London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham only for the purposes of this training programme. The funding is provided under the government ARG Scheme, and the Council is required to account how the funding has been spent. Date may be shared with the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) for research and evaluation purposes

If you require further assistance or want to discuss any aspect of this questionnaire, please email info@branduin.co.uk with your contact details.
