Discuss a consulting assignment, request a proposal, arrange corporate training or ask how Houston Executive Consulting can support your organisation. Our Kampala team can help you identify the right next step before you commit to a full engagement.
Reach the right consulting conversation faster
You do not need a finished terms of reference before contacting us. Select the closest enquiry type and share what decision, result or organisational challenge you need to address.
Management and strategy
Use this route for strategic planning, organisational design, governance, business planning, institutional performance or implementation support.
Human resources and recruitment
Contact the team about HR systems, workforce planning, recruitment, compensation, performance management, policies or people-related change.
Corporate training
Share the audience, capability need, participant number, preferred dates, location and the workplace result the programme should support.
Research, M&E and evaluation
Send the decision or programme question, geographic coverage, expected methodology, deliverables, data requirements and reporting deadline.
AI and digital transformation
Describe the workflow, decision, customer journey or capability challenge before naming a tool. We can help assess readiness and suitable next steps.
Business setup and compliance
Tell us the intended activity, ownership, location, workforce and target start date so the required setup and specialist inputs can be scoped correctly.
A useful first conversation starts with the decision
A short, well-framed enquiry helps us understand whether HEC is suitable, which expertise is required and whether a consultation or formal proposal should come next.
Begin with the organisational situation rather than a predetermined solution. Explain what has changed, what is not working, which decision is pending and what consequence matters. If the issue affects employees, customers, funders, regulators or several departments, identify the key stakeholders and any immediate sensitivities.
Describe the result you expect. This could be an approved strategy, a redesigned structure, a recruitment decision, an evaluation report, a training programme, an HR framework, a digital roadmap or implementation support. The clearer the intended output and user, the easier it is to recommend an appropriate method.
State practical constraints early. Mention the target date, location, participant or workforce scale, available data, procurement rules, budget range if known, and any confidentiality or reporting conditions. These details reduce avoidable clarification and improve the accuracy of the next response.
Give the proposal enough information to be credible
Houston Executive Consulting can respond to direct requests, requests for expressions of interest and formal procurement opportunities. A complete brief helps us propose the right method, team, timing and commercial structure.
Terms of reference
Attach the assignment background, objectives, scope, deliverables, location, timetable, evaluation criteria and submission instructions. If the document is still a draft, identify the questions that remain open.
Submission deadline
State the exact date, time and time zone. Allow sufficient time for method design, consultant availability checks, due-diligence documents and a properly costed financial proposal.
Required expertise
Explain mandatory qualifications, sector experience, team roles, geographic requirements and whether named key experts must remain available throughout the assignment.
Commercial instructions
Clarify the required currency, tax treatment, reimbursable expenses, payment stages, validity period, price schedule and whether the budget ceiling may be disclosed.
Procurement documents
List the registration, tax, reference, policy, declaration, insurance or financial documents required so compliance can be checked before the response is prepared.
Clarification channel
Name the authorised contact person, communication method and clarification deadline. This helps protect procurement integrity and prevents informal assumptions from entering the proposal.
Book training around a workplace outcome
A strong training enquiry explains what participants should do differently after the programme, not only the preferred course title.
Tell us who will attend, their roles, current experience and the business issue behind the request. A programme for first-time supervisors requires a different design from a board briefing, technical masterclass or executive coaching engagement. Participant numbers also influence facilitation methods, room setup, materials and the number of facilitators required.
Share the proposed dates, daily schedule, venue, delivery language and whether you prefer in-person, virtual or blended delivery. Clarify whether you need a training-needs assessment, customised case studies, participant materials, certificates, assessment, coaching, action plans or a post-training report.
Where the subject involves safety, legal obligations, clinical practice, finance, tax or another regulated field, HEC will confirm the specialist credentials and professional boundaries required before finalising the delivery team.
Contact support for local, cross-border and international work
HEC is based in Kampala and can assess assignments elsewhere in Uganda, across East Africa and in selected international contexts. Delivery may be on site, remote or blended depending on the work.
Kampala and central Uganda
Arrange an office meeting, client-site consultation, workshop or local assignment. Appointments are recommended so the appropriate consultant and preparation time can be confirmed.
Assignments across Uganda
State the districts, sites, participant groups, travel conditions and fieldwork expectations. Multi-location work should distinguish technical delivery from logistics and data-collection requirements.
East Africa and international clients
Share the countries involved, contracting entity, currency, tax and travel assumptions, language needs and which responsibilities require local licensed professionals.
Cross-border advice is not treated as automatically transferable from one country to another. Employment, tax, registration, data, safety and other jurisdiction-specific matters must be scoped country by country. Where formal interpretation or regulated execution is needed, the engagement should identify the suitably authorised local professional responsible for that work.
A clear route from enquiry to engagement
The next step depends on how clearly the need is defined and whether the request is exploratory, urgent or governed by a formal procurement process.
Initial review
We review the request for fit, clarity, timing, location, professional requirements and the information needed to respond responsibly.
Clarification
If necessary, we ask focused questions or arrange a discovery conversation to confirm the decision, scope, stakeholders and expected output.
Recommended route
We advise whether the appropriate next step is a consultation, diagnostic, quotation, technical and financial proposal, or referral to another specialist.
Engagement confirmation
Before substantive work begins, the parties agree the scope, deliverables, responsibilities, timetable, fees, payment terms and confidentiality arrangements.
Houston Executive Consulting, Kampala
Use the channel that best fits your enquiry. WhatsApp is convenient for an initial message; email is preferable for terms of reference and confidential business documents.
Share enough to scope the work, but protect sensitive information
An initial enquiry rarely requires complete employee files, passwords, medical records, financial credentials or unrestricted access to confidential systems.
Contacting a consulting firm in Uganda
What is the fastest way to contact Houston Executive Consulting?
For a short initial enquiry, use WhatsApp on +256 782 825945 or call +256 700 801771. Email info@heconsulting.us when sharing terms of reference, procurement instructions or documents that require a structured review.
How quickly will the consulting team respond?
HEC reviews enquiries as soon as practicable during normal working periods. Response time depends on the complexity and completeness of the request. If a deadline is fixed, put the date, time and time zone in the subject line so feasibility can be assessed immediately.
Can we schedule an online consultation?
Yes. Depending on the assignment and participant locations, an initial consultation may be arranged online, by telephone or in person. The team will confirm the suitable format after reviewing the enquiry.
Can we visit the Kampala office without an appointment?
An appointment is recommended. Advance contact ensures the relevant consultant is available and allows the team to review any background information before the meeting.
What should we include when requesting a proposal?
Send the background, objectives, scope, deliverables, location, expected team, timetable, evaluation criteria, commercial instructions and submission deadline. Attach the full terms of reference where available and identify any mandatory forms or certifications.
Can HEC sign a confidentiality agreement?
Confidentiality requirements can be discussed before sensitive information is exchanged. Any non-disclosure agreement should clearly identify the information covered, permitted uses, authorised recipients, duration and obligations of both parties.
Can an international organisation engage HEC for work in Uganda?
Yes. International clients can contact HEC about management, workforce, research, training, business setup or implementation needs in Uganda. The scope should clarify the contracting entity, currency, taxes, travel, local professional responsibilities and applicable procurement rules.
Can we request a quotation before the complete scope is ready?
A preliminary discussion may be possible, but an accurate quotation requires enough information about objectives, work volume, expertise, location, timing, deliverables and client responsibilities. Where the need is still unclear, a scoping or diagnostic stage may be the better starting point.
Does contacting HEC automatically create a consulting engagement?
No. An enquiry or initial discussion does not by itself create an engagement. Substantive work begins only after the parties confirm the scope, responsibilities, commercial terms and any necessary contracting or procurement requirements.
