TI
Partners delivers solutions within five main areas of public sector-related
services:
- Analysis and formulation of pre-bidding arrangements
- Proposal-writing (bid-writing)
- Project management and/or expert input, project assessment
- Institution-building advisory services within the fields of organisational
development, communication and financial plans.
- Implementation of business plans based on outcomes from public sector
projects
Pre-bidding arrangements, bid-writing
On assignment by our clients, we offer identification and partnering of
consortium members. The search is conducted in accordance with an agreed
set of criteria and specifications agreed with our client. Typical pre-bidding
services also include producing consortium agreements and specification
of the role of each partner in the consortium.
We also have experience with writing complete proposals addressing international
donor institutions, such as the EU programmes Phare and Tacis, and the
Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
Project management and/or expert input
We are working with the international branch of the Swedish Association
of Local Authorities and Regions on a long-term basis. This work includes
various short-term assignments (bid-writing and project assessments) as
well as management of various donor-financed projects and programmes. Work
in this sector is usually financed by the international donor community.
Our
assignments often involve working in different geographical areas on long-term
or short-term contracts.
Example:
We are participants in EU Project PrestoSpace, an EUR 18 million Integrated
Project within the EU Commission’s 6th Framework Programme of Research & Development.
PrestoSpace brings together participants in the audio, video and film
archive industry within and outside the EU, with a view to providing
standards and integrated systems for digital preservation of all types
of audio, video and film collections which were originally recorded in
analogue format.
The role of TI Partners is to input into the market analysis, to
ensure successful exploitation of PrestoSpace’s recommendations.
Institution-building
We have provided input to institution-building in many different countries.
Some assignments have included project management and expertise input such
as drafting of institutional and organisational development plans. Other
assignments have included managing training components and the drafting
of training modules in management techniques.
Example:
We have been working on a long-term assignment in Bucharest, Romania,
working for the Ministry of Environment (EU/Phare project) with re-organisation
of the environmental protection agencies. Ongoing institution-building
assignments include various short-term and long-term action planning
and follow-up in various development projects in Eastern Europe and
Africa.
Our
ability to deliver is based on a combination of skills and experiences:
- our industry knowledge coupled with work assignments representing the
entire project cycle - planning, e.g. partnering and bid-writing;
implementation, e.g. project management and expertise input; and reporting,
e.g. writing
final reports, assessments and recommendations to donors;
- Our work experience from various parts of Europe – the majority of West European countries,
as well as the new EU member states and the pre-Accession states
(including the potential candidate countries of the Western Balkans).
Depending on the scope of the assignment we will work either as a one-stop-shop
or together with consortium members.
The nature of our work varies from short-term during one phase of the
project cycle to overall responsibility from initiation to final reporting
of projects.
Implementation of business plans
Where a public sector project involves commercialisation, we identify and
work with commercial partners to implement business plans based on outcomes
from public sector projects.
Example:
We are working with a leading Brussels-based sound archive specialist
to further develop its rapidly-growing business by exploiting the market
interest stimulated by the PrestoSpace project referred to above.
