Salisbury businesses offered chance to bid for Wiltshire Council contracts
Workshops hope to 'demystify the tendering process'
Businesses in Salisbury are to be given a chance to bid for contracts to provide goods and services to Wiltshire Council.
The council’s procurement will meet with interested enterprises at workshop at the Old Fire Station Enterprise Centre on April 20th, where they will demystify the tendering process.
That is one of two workshops across Wiltshire, the other at Digital Mansion Corsham on April 27th.
Wiltshire Council Leader, Cllr Richard Clewer, explained what the workshops hope to achieve:
“Tendering in the public sector is more straightforward that you might think, however, we appreciate that our procurement process can seem daunting.
“These workshops will de-mystify the process and provide top tips for tendering. They will explain to businesses including suppliers of goods, works, or services how the council procures what it needs, allowing local businesses to get greater access to sell their goods, works, and services and encouraging businesses to bid for our contracts.”
