Test the local business case

A regional strength does not automatically create an opportunity for every supplier. Identify the paying customer, exact geography, purchasing route and timing. Test workforce, housing, freight, energy, water, digital access, premises and approvals against the proposed operating model.

Evidence checklist

  • Read the current regional economic and planning documents.
  • Verify the status of projects through the responsible organisation.
  • Speak with potential customers and supply-chain partners.
  • Compare demand with the existing competitor and supplier base.
  • Model mobilisation, working capital and disruption risk.
  • Record the source and date of every material assumption.

Use the official regional source, then continue to the procurement tracker and economic outlook summary.
