Business Coaching. Action Research. Engaged Scholarship.
The Centre for Tendering is a business process innovation start-up. It was founded by two UK entrepreneurial academics, skilled management educators, who are experts in small business processes. Their goal is to turn the tide on small firm capacity to win public sector tenders, challenging the status quo of market failure. The Centre operates with a clear mission:
"To transform the capacity of small firms to win more public sector contracts through knowledge and innovation, and, in doing so, create healthier supply chains and reduce a hidden cost to UK productivity of small firms' effort investing in unsuccessful tendering."
The Centre is an original think-space and welcomes collaborations. A strong research base underpins founder action to help firms to implement ‘what works’ in the CLEVER TENDERING business programme. Wider activities with economic development teams and anchor institutions bridge the gap between tendering research, evidence and practice.
Paula has a PhD in Small Firms Tendering Capability. She has advised growth companies in IT, Education, Care Services, Architecture and many more sectors, to create successful firm-level public sector sales strategies.
Julia holds a chair in Entrepreneurship at Manchester Metropolitan University. As a researcher passionately committed to social change, Julia has developed a methodology called Engaged-Activist Scholarship and is actively involved in experimenting with ways to inform change within public sector environments.
Jennie Shorley is Head of Engaged Scholarship at the Manchester Metropolitan University and Director of Praxis Auril, the UK’s knowledge exchange membership organisation. Jennie has led significant academic- business projects worth over £15M and will support project development, as well as providing links to societal impact groups.
