Delivery Partner

.

Delivery Partners are agencies, consultants, trainers, researchers and other specialists who can help turn useful ideas into practical work.

The relationship is built around relevant expertise, useful contribution and clear commercial boundaries.

Help turn ideas into outcomes

Some of the problems identified through The Cheese Network will need specialist knowledge or professional support.

That could involve strategy, design, development, marketing, research, training, photography, data or another specialist skill.

Delivery Partnership creates a route for useful expertise to become part of Network activity when there is a genuine fit.

Being a Delivery Partner does not buy work, leads or influence.

Who is Delivery Partnership for?

Delivery Partners may include:

  • Marketing and digital agencies
  • Brand and design specialists
  • Website and ecommerce specialists
  • CRM and email specialists
  • SEO, content and communications specialists
  • Researchers and insight specialists
  • Photographers and videographers
  • Trainers and facilitators
  • Business advisers and consultants
  • Data, accessibility and customer experience specialists

If your main offer is a software product or platform, Technology Partner will normally be the better route.

What do Delivery Partners contribute?

Delivery Partners should contribute something useful to the wider Network, rather than simply paying to appear in a directory.

That might include:

  • Specialist knowledge
  • Practical examples
  • Case studies
  • Educational sessions
  • Templates or guidance
  • Working Group participation
  • Research or data
  • Feedback and testing
  • Input into Missions
  • Shared Project support

There is no expectation that Delivery Partners provide substantial unpaid professional work.

Where commercial delivery is needed, that work should be agreed separately.

What do Delivery Partners get?

Delivery Partnership gives specialists a structured way to build relationships with the cheese sector through useful participation.

Depending on the relationship, this may include:

  • Recognition as a Delivery Partner
  • A partner profile showing your expertise
  • Relevant Community participation
  • Visibility of Missions and Network priorities
  • Opportunities to contribute to Working Groups
  • Opportunities to share practical knowledge
  • Access to relevant Insights and feedback
  • Visibility of suitable Shared Projects
  • Consideration for relevant delivery opportunities

Paid work is never guaranteed. The Network remains free to choose the provider that best fits each project.
