Middlesbrough Council spends over £120 million each year buying goods, products and services. We are keen for small and medium sized businesses to become part of the supply chain but understand it can be difficult to know where to start. As a result we are running a second series of free workshops to help you understand the procurement process and prepare your business for successful tendering.This workshop looks in detail at the procurement process, the different procedures and procurement in the context of commissioning. Each stage of the process will be covered in detail, explaining when things happen and why, and the different documents used.

This practical workshop will focus on finding opportunities to bid for contracts in the public sector. Participants will be shown where to look for tenders and where they might be able to find out what opportunities there are.

Training Objectives

This workshop will help participants to:

- Know how and where to look for available tender opportunities

- Know what sort of opportunities may arise

- Understand how approved lists and accreditations work

Audience

This workshop is designed for people who are looking to find out more about what opportunities are available and are intending to grow their organisations through procurement and tendering for public sector contracts.

Workshop Outline

The workshop will include an explanation of which contracts are tendered and which are not, as well as an online demonstration of where to look for opportunities. Questions and discussion will take place and attendees will receive a handout summarising the main points from the workshop.
