It aims to demystify the procedures around pitching for, and ultimately winning some of the ‘below threshold’ (i.e. below £25k) work that Local Councils and other Government Bodies/Agencies contract out. The workshop is also suitable for new start-ups that are looking into public procurement as a possible future option, and for those looking to pick up some of the small contract opportunities. |
Participant Numbers: | The workshop is restricted to 14 participants to allow for group interaction and Q&A sessions. |
