Etenders Information Seminar - Webinar

Attention Small Business Owners: Are you a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) looking to grow revenue by winning more public-sector contracts? The Government’s guidelines for public bodies have been revised, introducing changes that will empower SMEs to compete for more public work.

Join us for a briefing session where we will delve into the details of the changes to the Government guidelines:

• Boosting SME Participation: The new guidelines specifically outline measures that public bodies should take to promote SME participation.
• Increased Thresholds: The thresholds for advertising contracts on etenders have been significantly raised, allowing more contracts to be accessible to SMEs through less formal quotations processes.
• Strengthened Governance and Transparency: The updated guidelines reinforce the principles underpinning public procurement, ensuring fair competition, transparency, and governance. 
• eTenders: The national e-tendering platform, eTenders, has changed significantly. Learn what you’ll need to do to stay on top of the changes.

This briefing is an important opportunity for small businesses to gain insights and equip yourself with the knowledge to navigate the changing procurement landscape effectively. It will be provided on behalf of LEO Kilkenny by Keystone Procurement, who provide expert public procurement support and training to public buyers and suppliers alike.
