Long-term Coaching and Business Plan Reviews – NSW Farm Business Resilience Program, Phase 2

⁠⁠⁠Farm Business Resilience Program seeks suppliers to deliver farm resilience coaching, business planning & capability-building services to NSW primary producers from 2026-2029.

Project goals

The Farm Business Resilience Program aims to strengthen the long-term resilience of farm businesses by building participants’ knowledge, skills and capability in strategic farm planning and risk management, including drought and climate-related risk.

This is delivered through a range of tailored coaching, business planning and education initiatives. This project will support primary producers to improve decision-making, strengthen risk management practices, and increase long-term business sustainability and resilience outcomes.

Scope

Form a panel of suitably qualified suppliers to deliver FBRP coaching services, including mini coach, expert, industry coaching and ready‑to‑implement partner programs for eligible farm businesses. Delivery may include one‑on‑one coaching, group learning, workshops, farm visits and business planning support to develop, refine and implement practical farm business plans.

The tender also seeks pre‑developed programs or projects from experienced suppliers, with varying formats, outcomes and duration based on participants or industries. Suppliers must demonstrate relevant agricultural experience, coaching capability, regional networks and the ability to deliver at scale across diverse industries and regions.

Suppliers will support participant engagement, meet onboarding and reporting requirements, and contribute to program outcomes aligned with funding objectives and FBRP economic, environmental and social resilience goals.

The panel will be established for program delivery across NSW expected from early FY25/26. Opportunities will have rolling intakes and may commence at any time (excluding holiday periods), based on industry context and demand.
