Shared quote response team: a council program
The problem. One small business cannot meet a large request alone. Who it helps. A council or library team hosting it, helping very small local businesses preparing to sell to larger buyers. What you start with. Two or three small suppliers. What is delivered. The group tests a joint response to a small request for quotes. A community officer hosts it with local partners and follows progress. How progress is known. Roles agreed and response sent are recorded. A short summary is shared with the council, with names and personal details left out. Main purpose. The main purpose is access to a useful product or service, or less waste going to landfill, for the community. Honest limits. Joint responses need clear agreements. Ownership of your idea stays with you, and no job, funding or contract is promised. Track record. This is a new idea built on work Deals Colony has already documented. It has not been run yet.
