Don’t go it alone – collaborate and WIN tenders!

As Government continues to strive to improve SME access to the public procurement markets, collaboration – the formation of joint ventures and consortia – is increasingly common as an approach to winning bids.

Consortia can add great benefits to SMEs targeting new business through public procurement and in private sector supply chains, such as:

• opening up new sub-sectors of the public procurement market, and new private sector supply chains;
• helping to meet minimum / mandatory criteria;
• adding new / specialist skills and capabilities;
• Creating scale through combined capacity.

About the webinar

This FREE webinar will examine in detail both the opportunities and challenges of forming successful consortia. It will also consider the strategy and process issues involved – legal, business, procurement, compliance, etc.

Who should attend?

The webinar is designed for micro companies, SEEs, SMEs etc. that are either bidding or considering bidding for contracts in conjunction with collaborative partners.
