The Supply 2010 roadshow is a must for SMEs new to public sector tendering or looking to improve their chances of success in selling to this market.
This one-day seminar provides an explanation of tendering documentation, exploring its essential aspects, and introduces basic procedures that suppliers need to understand to tender successfully in the public sector marketplace.
With up to 3000 new contract opportunities published in the UK every month across all business sectors, a sufficient understanding of documentation and tendering procedures is paramount for any business investing valuable time, resource and expense in responding to government contract opportunities.

This roadshow has been designed to provide guidance on a variety of issues central to public procurement.
It will be of special interest to:
- Suppliers new to the public sector marketplace
- Suppliers who already engage with the public sector but wish to improve or refresh their knowledge of current procurement processes
- Organisations which find the procedures difficult to understand
- Organisations which feel they need to develop their skillset to improve their tendering success rate with the public sector
