Default Re: Finally......SME's get a chance to grab a business 'lifeline'

Hi

I would agree with Adventurelife. It is a long drawn out process and can be costly to a business in time and effort if you don't get past the Pre-qual stage but one thing that did come out of the Public Sector event was that they are encouraging small / medium sized businesses into the Public Sector and even highly promoting the Consortiums / Sub Contracting to smaller businesses as well.

I am fortunate I have direct experience of Pre-Quals and Tender processes as I worked in Construction for a number of years so I can only try my hardest.

As I said in my last post, it made me realise things I needed to do for my business to work in public sector - primarily being a Ltd Company, which I am happy to announce I did a couple of weeks ago!

Cheers,


Sharon
