Free advice on winning contracts available to East Midlands companies

Tops tips on tender writing for public sector contracts will be available for East Midlands businesses at a free seminar later this month.

The workshop is the second of three sessions being run to help small and medium-sized companies to learn the secret of success when it comes to bidding for public sector contracts.

Open to all sectors and to businesses across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutland, the workshops are being delivered by specialist consultants who have a proven track record of supporting businesses across a variety of sectors.

The programme is being run by Nottingham Trent University’s Future Factory in association with The Food and Drink Forum and Action Sustainability.

Future Factory is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), and aims to support East Midlands small to medium-sized companies to adopt more sustainable products and processes.

The next workshop turns the spotlight on writing a winning tender, and takes place at Nottingham Trent University’s Clifton Campus between 9.30am and 1.30pm on June 20th.

The final session, which is being staged at Nottingham Trent University’s City Campus on July 4th from 9.30am to 1.30pm, will concentrate on practicing the presentation skills that can help your company to win over a potential buyer.

“The first session, which focused on writing a successful Pre-Qualification Questionnaire, attracted businesses from a wide range of sectors and was a real success,” said Lisa Unwin, from The Food and Drink Forum. “I would urge any East Midlands company to sign up for the next sessions if they’d like to receive essential advice and support for winning new business.”
