Don't miss out on potential procurement opportunities!

Despite these uncertain times, procurement opportunities still exist and are being issued every day. Get the support you need to tender successfully:

Register for our FREE Introduction to Tendering webinar on 26 May 2020.

Here’s a sample of webinar content:

• Mapping the public sector market
• Insight into private sector supply chains – that are tendered
• Understanding the buying processes – and how buying is changing
• The bid / no bid decision – how do you decide and what should your strategy be?
• Tips on how to write a winning bid
• Pricing and cost considerations

On completion of the webinar you will be assigned a mentor for some follow-on support. This time is tailored to you and the support you require, so for instance you could:

• Get support with a live bid
• Review previously unsuccessful submissions
• Register/ navigate eSourcing, eTendersNI, eTenders.gov.ie etc.
• Develop a tender bank of documents - for use in upcoming tender opportunities

Due to the current pandemic and Government guidelines, in the short to medium term, mentoring will be delivered remotely e.g. through a combination of video conference meetings, off site document review, and email / documentary feedback.
