Feedback from last Workshop:
Useful to understand different rules applied to public and private traders. As someone who is looking to improve the sales revenue of the business, learning about public tendering gives another approach to achieving this.
A very relaxed informative event. Definitely made us aware of things and helped us to move forward as accompany.
Today was very helpful and informative, it has given us the guidance to actively attempt the tendering process. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
A very informative session with some great tips on how to be prepared to win more tenders.
Great informative relaxed environment, and fantastic structure.
Really useful
