Chamber Recovery – How to win public sector contracts!

Join us on our extended ‘recovery programme’ virtual events which support businesses to restart, rebuild and renew.

The UK government spends almost £300 billion per year on buying goods and services from external suppliers. Can your business afford to miss out on this significant market?

With hundreds of thousands of public sector contracts and tenders published every year, no matter what industry you’re in and what your services/goods are, there will be a government contract that is perfect for you.  

Companies of all types and sizes should be able to access public sector contracts, irrespective of their experience or knowledge of the public-sector procurement process. We understand that this process can be confusing, intimidating and frustrating – but we are here to help you overcome these barriers and start winning those contracts!

This pre-recorded webinar will not only provide an overview of how public sector procurement works but also take you through the entire tender process, from beginning to end. Including where to find tenders, how to decide if a tender is right for you and what to include in a high-quality bid submission.

The webinar is suitable for all individuals from all sectors, including anyone that:

  1. Is new to public sector tendering
  2. Has some experience of public sector tendering but would like to increase their understanding
  3. Is experienced but would like to discover ways of improving their success rate

Content / Takeaway

  • Understand what is included in the public-sector tendering process
  • Know where to find suitable tender opportunities
  • Able to determine if a tender is right for you and assess chances of success
  • Able to develop high-quality tender submissions
  • Avoid common mistakes when developing and submitting a tender
  • Better understanding of the key terminology and acronyms
  • Overall increased confidence and chances of successfully tendering for government contracts

About the Speaker

Kyle Jameson, Managing Director and Lead Bid Writer at TenderHelp

Kyle founded TenderHelp in 2018 in response to a lack of affordable tender writing services in the market. One of the key drivers for the establishment of the company was the imbalance and unfairness in public sector tendering; frequently favouring large, more established organisations, even though other businesses, including SMEs and those with less experience of the tendering process, could offer better quality and value.

Prior to this, Kyle worked in a variety of procurement, buying and contract management roles in public sector organisations for almost 10 years, most recently Norwich City Council. This experience of writing tenders, evaluating tender submissions and ultimately awarding the contracts, gives Kyle a great insight into what buyers are looking for and hoping to receive in your submission.

About TenderHelp

TenderHelp is a market-leading bid management company, supporting companies of all sizes, in all sectors and industries, across the UK and Europe to tender for a range of public and private contracts.

Since its establishment, the team have helped thousands of companies (many SMEs) to win over £1bn worth of contracts, with a current bid/tender win rate above 75%.

Pure Resources: Sharing our experiences on Time to Talk day

In this video, our mental health champions and directors talk about what they struggle with, what their challenges are, particularly around working from home, and what they do to overcome these.

We hope that this video will help people feel connected, increase our understanding of the challenges people face and normalise the conversation around wellbeing and mental health, alongside ideas on how we can keep our spirits up and stay motivated.

At Pure, we have mental health champions in each of our offices. Their role is to increase awareness and understanding of mental health in our office and offer a listening ear and support to anyone who is struggling with their mental health.

Each of our champions attended a one-day training course to increase their knowledge of mental health and stress in the workplace, to reduce stigma and discrimination towards mental health, to notice signs and symptoms of mental health disorders, and how to spot early warning signs of mental ill-health.

If you would like to know more about our approach to looking after the wellbeing and mental health of our team, contact Ellie Steinfeldt – Learning and Development Advisor at Pure.

Recovery Programme | Developing a Resilient Mindset – Ask the Expert

A resilient skillset is now, more than ever, considered one of the most important areas in which we can develop. Many people are now referring to resilience as a ‘must-have’.

All the skills required to be able to persevere, learn from our perceived failures, maintain motivation and perspective start with how we approach and process external events – our mindset. From the boardroom to the shop floor, we need to be able to reduce the cycles of stress, anxiety and fear that negatively impact wellbeing, communication and productivity.

Recovery Programme | What Options Are Available for Businesses When The Furlough Scheme Ends?

The Chancellor’s recent announcement on further schemes to keep business moving in the UK and the range of support available is a great help for business. However, despite this, it is inevitable that some businesses will struggle and will need to make difficult decisions. Understanding where you stand with redundancies and what the financial implications are is imperative to survive the current economic downturn.

Join our speakers Matthew Potter and Andrew Kelsall for a webinar on the options available for businesses in the short to medium term when the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme comes to an end on 31 October 2020.
