Textbook Tendering – An introduction on how to access & tender successfully for contracts in the public and private sector

Local authorities and businesses across the North West currently spend £6.5 billion a year on goods and services.

Many of these local authorities actively want to work with local suppliers and are keen to encourage them to bid for contracts – which could provide a steady income and financial stability for qualifying businesses.

The bottom line is that there are huge opportunities for new business out there. That’s why we’ve developed ‘Textbook Tendering’ just for you. This introductory session will offer some useful insights into the tendering process including social value, the bid process and consortium creation and will outline the training that will be available*.

So join us, The Federation of Small Businesses and Stockport Council for the introduction of Textbook Tendering where you will be able to get more information about the training and other support we have planned and register your expression of Interest for this highly useful programme.
