1.3 Getting Your Business Tender Ready - The Checklist

In Scotland, public sector procurement is governed by rules set out by the Scottish Government. Therefore, there is certain information, policies, and processes which must be in place before your business can begin to bid for public sector contracts. 

This webinar aims to help Scottish SMEs and social enterprises become tender ready. One of our expert trainers will talk you through a “bidding checklist” of all the key information, processes and policies that your business must have in place prior to bidding.

During this course, you will learn:

• The information and policies you need to have in place for public sector procurement.
• An understanding of the public sector procurement market and how to enter it.
• How to create a bid/no bid strategy.
• How to improve your chances of winning a public sector contract.

At the end of the webinar, there will be an interactive Q&A session where you will have the opportunity to ask our expert trainer any questions you may have.
