The Northern Ireland public sector spends over £2 billion each year on a wide range of goods and services. Spanning numerous organisations, departments, executive agencies and district councils, when the public sector has a need, they advertise a tender / request a quote and then award a contract to the winning supplier. Payments are on time and the client is stable, hence, tendering for contracts in the Northern Ireland public sector could allow your business to tap into a rewarding market that has many benefits. This interactive, free half-day in-person workship will cover:

• The benefits of approaching public sector and larger organisations for tendering / bidding opportunities

• Considering what to bid for and what not to bid for, including types of bidding opportunities

• Preparing your business for tendering / bidding

• Top tips for writing a winning bid – insights from successful bidders and evaluation panels

Overall, the workshop aims to debunk the myths around writing tenders and provide practical ways for businesses to more confidently avail of opportunities within the public sector and large organisations.
