LBH is inviting tenders from suitably qualified and experienced organisations for: I. The delivery of a business programme to train, develop and support Harrow businesses to be able to compete for tenders with LBH, thereby enabling them to also compete for other public sector contracts. The programme required through this tender needs to offer a package of flexible, interactive and responsive support aimed at improving the knowledge, skills and application of local businesses to bid for and win contracts; explaining how to identify potential tender opportunities, what to include in tender submissions and how to write a bid for the best chance of success.
