Opportunity by Malcolm Gallagher, presenter of SpotLearn procurement
With over 100,000 publicly funded organisations in the UK, the market opportunity is huge! By the year 2007, the total public spending in the UK will be £549 billion. In the North East of England for example, local authorities spend close to £1 billion a year on goods and services. Small firms (including micro firms of around 2 employees) are winning more private and public sector contracts because they are taking the time to understand the procurement process and to improve their chances of winning. This site is here to help YOU win more tenders. What’s stopping you accessing the opportunity?
In the past it may have been difficult for small and medium sized firms to get information, help and training. You may have feared that public bodies only favoured the large companies or felt that the whole process of tendering was a mystery and alien to how you normally do business with the private sector.
Now, thanks to Government initiatives such as participation in this BizVision site and our unique SpotLearn Procurement workshops, plus a genuine desire by both private and public sector organisations to welcome small and medium sized enterprises as new suppliers, opportunity awaits you.
