By visiting the NSEP website you can see what events and workshops are available in your region, and get information about forthcoming procurement conferences.

These are all events that can help the SME/social business develop their bid strategy, refine their ability to respond to pre-qualification questionnaires and deliver a better final bid.

The site also offers the chance to download a copy of the Guide to Winning Contracts – with twenty tips to help hone your bidding skills.

The public sector marketplace is crowded and competitive, but this information can definitely help you prepare better and win more.
