Full details and booking information below
‘Go2Tender’ is designed to be a practical workshop, aimed specifically at small business owners/sole traders that have never completed a tender before. It aims to demystify the procedures around pitching for, and ultimately winning some of the ‘below threshold’ (i.e. below €25k) work that Local Authorities 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 very small contracts (e.g. work to the value of a few hundred euro from a County Council etc).
• The eTenders website (www.etenders.gov.ie)
