Applications are invited to prequalify for a new category to the Professional and Technical Services Prequalification 17C811 - SMALL BUSINESS INTERFACE ADVISOR.

The State Government has today released a tender to create a register of independent Small Business Advisors to work with the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI) to assist small businesses potentially impacted by major project construction.

This is an important step in the Government’s commitment to minimising impacts of major works on local businesses.

An independent Small Business Advisor may be engaged on an as-needs basis, with the intent to assist business owners to continue to trade during construction with as little disruption as practicable.  The Advisors will suggest strategies for business precincts within project footprints.

Successful register Advisors will have extensive experience in business support frameworks and small business continuity strategies delivering recommendations in consultation with small businesses and government.

DPTI recognises the challenges South Australian businesses face and the impact project delivery can have and is determined to do all it can to support businesses.

The department is  also committed to actively engaging with businesses early in projects to establish relationships, provide a primary point of contact and to obtain information specific to the business that will assist in mitigating disruption as much as practically possible.
