Key considerations and expectations 20
Key risks Working capital and cash flow Referrals/volume fluctuations Performance and labour market downturn Reputation/publicity Resourcing/capacity 21
Resources Size and facilities (delivery hub/peripatetic delivery) Business-like environments, open plan Separate 121 and group inductions Resource planning within specification (we will share our assumptions) Public transport links, easy to find, easy access (60 minute travel time) Provide transport costs 22
Processes/ IT Compatibility Drives efficiency Client tracking Management Information – using data to drive performance Audit and compliance – Some UK competitors failed at this which resulted in fraud Information Security requirements/Data Protection 23
Subcontracting approach 24
Who do we want to work with?
