Under the work agreement, suppliers will be required to provide specialist consultancy services to Wales Co-operative Centre and our clients i.e. social businesses who wish to grow. Services will be provided both remotely and in the local geographic area to the client. The work will be divided into six thematic lots:

Lot 1: Business Planning, Financial Forecasting, Review and Assessment;

Lot 2: Strategic Planning Analysis and Visioning;

Lot 3: Accounting Services;

Lot 4: Marketing, e marketing and Social Media;

Lot 5: Human Resource Services;

Lot 6: Sustainable Development.

Suppliers will be required to deliver services both virtually and face to face. To deliver a more sustainable service and to support the goals of the Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act we are moving towards a more virtual service. We anticipate the approximate split between virtual and face to face work will be 75 % and 25 % respectively, although this is not guaranteed.

The work will operate for three years with an option, at WCC’s discretion, to extend for a further period of 12 months.
