GO Training Events, a partnership between Grace Graham and Orleans Duncan, are putting on a series of masterclasses to help businesses who want to increase their profile and turnover. These sessions are all about helping small and micro businesses provide their services to the public sector and larger organisations. The topic for this evening's event is Procurement.

We know that procurement can be a minefield, but it doesn't have to be. In 2015 the Government set a target for 25% of public sector contracts to be awarded to small and micro enterprises. SMEs countribute 99% to the UK economy with London being home to the largest number of business owners. By 2020 it is predicted that SMEs in London alone will have contributed £164b (76%) to the UK economy. Our training can help you to become part of that.

What is procurement?

These are contracts that are too small to go out to tender, and are usually requests made by public sector organisations, including local authorities, that need to be done in the quickest amount of time. The work tends to be within a specialist field, such as removal of graffiti, catering for an event, management training, etc.
